According to Philly sources on other forums, those responsible for Tue new chart, he's technically already at the top, minus the official title. He has no actual rank but according to them he's like the Feech La Manna character, hes higher than the average soldier, higher than the average capo, but holds no official title, and has a direct link to the administration. I can understand wanting some of his Delaware Co. rackets back, but with his supposed real estate deals, and being able to open up a brand new social club, he seems to be doing okay. Not to mention surveillance has captured Merlino guys posted happily in front of his clubhouse and inside. If there was actual animosity between the two, why would they be there almost everyday, seemingly on amicable terms.
