I just dont think neil would of lasted long as a boss. He was in jail from 1973-1976 then in 1979 he got indicted for a murder but the bergin crew took out the other defendent which saved him, then by 83-84 he had cancer along with the RICO and commission trials. Also he groomed Gotti which basically killed the Gambinos. Like I said Neil was well respected but that doesnt mean he would of made a good or stable boss
