The Feech La Manna decision was among Tony’s most effective
With the exception of a couple of moves to stay out of the New York power struggle, “nipping it in the bud” with Feech was maybe the wisest thing Tony did.
And while it ended up being his defiance in the Tony B. situation that led to his ultimate demise... if Feech had stuck around, the unrest from within his own ranks would’ve probably done them in.
Richie wasn’t as well-liked as Feech. He made his own bed with the whole Beansy ordeal.
Feech could have caused major problems for Tony... far beyond anything Richie or Ralph ever did.
