This has been my view all along. Sure, Castellano was a white collar type who stayed indoors, but he was a good businessman.

Even Dellacroce, when he got passed over for the boss role, told Gotti that maybe a Castellano 'banker' type of boss was now the way forward.

Gotti was way too visible and flashy. LCN had become massive and maybe the job was too big for him. He didn't hide his 'secret society' activities very well... and he was probably more greedy than big Pauly himself!
