neil would have taken it if it was offered but no way he would make a move and like i said before he had more power than paul he was boss of half the gambino family
Neil was a Gambino loyalist. Yes he would have taken it if it was offered him, but it wasn't. He and his crew were the muscle of the boss, and settled to be the very respected underboss he had been for a while.
Big Paul gave him the same position with the same perks. If someone asks why he didn't hit Paul, the answer is obvious... he was happy with what he had no? Otherwise he would have hit Paul.
