My understanding is that both Ricca and Accardo wanted Giancana. He had proven himself many times with his ability to make money and willingness to kill.

Giancana was a great moneymaker. His tenure was good and bad. Good times and lots of money for awhile, but a terrible time to become boss. Lots of heat.
