Also, I don't think anyone disputes that Vic has the title. The question has always been how much influence he truly has with so few allies on the street. I feel like I explain this to you every time this comes up, Ivy. Titles aren't everything.
I realize titles aren't everything. As said, Peter Gotti basically only has the title at this point. But people say the same about Amuso with little more than their own assumptions and guesswork from other posters to support it. You talk about "so few allies" but you really don't know that. That's just you reading the tea leaves and coming to a conclusion that doesn't seem to agree with what Capeci reported above. Others doing that is how the whole "Amuso is just a figurehead/Crea is the real boss" thing started and it got repeated until it became accepted fact on the boards.
