If Michael had died in Plan A - Tahoe bedroom shooting, Roth still would have been “behind the scenes guy who didn't put his head above the parapets” and would have continued to live like our average neighbour, harmless old man eating Tuna sandwich for lunch! ie: retired investor on a pension

“Rosato brothers misdirection” certainly fooled Michael until Michael survived the Tahoe shooting

Besides I too believe as Turnbull posted “Roth's overarching goal was to get rid of Michael, who'd been encroaching on his gaming empire” not “to pull the strings and try to control the New York underworld”

“Michael saw through it [Plan B – Michael's murder in Havana] immediately” only because of the failure of Plan A - Tahoe bedroom shooting

If Batista hadn't been forced to resign, I believe

• Michael would undoubtedly have been murdered by Roth's pre-arranged assassins, in the military car plan or somehow if Michael refused the protection offer
• Roth too would have died smothered by Michael's bodyguard Buscetta in his hospital room
