I don't think I have ever posted a what if or a (theory) thread but this has a possible answer.

If Philip Leonetti don't flip " and cut Nicky's legs out , the Chin and Manna and Westside stands behind him .

They obviously had the most to lose financially and having a extra vote .

So how would the family have laid out there would have been a few acting Skippers and a acting streetboss or acting boss and under boss appointed .

Nicky Jr. would be the ears and eyes for his father and no doubt would have been made .

Nick was just to slow or head strong to have done this before we all know what happened.

I have not seen anyone talk of this and what would the family have looked like .
