No doubt there was at least a handful of guys who would have been a better choice then Neil. In the can or not Neil would have been a better boss then Paul as far as keeping family together and keeping men under him content and happy. He was happy with money he made and would not have bled his men or made them feel embarrassed by his actions. As far as white collar part of family goes he would have let them do their thing and not worried about sticking his nose(pun intended) in shit he didn’t know about like Big Paul did with street shit.
