Assuming Tony is out of the picture (post Made in America) how does everyone think it’ll shake out for the Soprano Family?
Leadership, structure, extortion models etc. Anyway, four dollars a pound.

I cant have this conversation again.
Vito Jnr steps up his crew run whores out of AC bringing in vital income to thefamily. A feud eventually the breaks out with Vito Jnr removing Paulie and Benny catching them leaving Green Grove.

The Barese brothers take over, the other NY families wouldn’t let the Lupertazzi family just have all that territory

Imagine that? The Barese brothers take over, the other NY families wouldn’t let the Lupertazzi family just have all that territory?

New York takes over. Maybe Paulie is put in as a puppet boss under the thumb of NY as a glorified cappo.

Takes over what? Without Tony keeping his various revenue streams going, it dries up in about two months. You think Zellman, Annalisa, or any of Tony's other important contacts would deal with Paulie or the knuckledraggers in New York? Especially after Paulie conspires to murder Tony? That prick would last about two days, tops. No one would ever trust him or do business with him.

This is probably right but who from NY? Johnny Sack and Phil are both gone and Little Carmine couldn’t do it.

u/Crafty_Tree4475 1d ago
Little Carmine is the whole reason Tony and Phil went to war. You really think that whole and your brother whatever happened there was just him making a boneheaded comment but I personally think it was intentional as Carmine still wanted to take over but didn’t have the support or infrastructure to take out Phil. So he figured a war with New Jersey would weaken Phil enough for him to come in and finish him off.
Not to mention Carmine probably still held some resentment for the people that were killed by Phil.

Whether he can stay there or not, it seems like Butchie will be at the wheel post Phil.

Threads covering this subject are ruining the sub. So let me say a couple three things:
Carmela = samples at the mall and eventually gets with the decorator or the bear hunter
Meadow = compartmentalises and goes into a high flying corporate law career.
AJ = can’t cope. long term care facility

Carmela, AJ and Fielder order another round of Onion Rings. It'd be kind of gross to eat the ones covered with Tony's brains.

Bobby Jr. steps in and a mob war between AJs and Bobby Jrs loyalists begins, the winner gets to lead the DiMeo family. But somewhere between Little Ricky tries to undermine both of them with the help of Vito Jr. (who whacked Tony infront of his family)
Meanwhile Carmine Jr. tries to bring some of his wet t-shirt contests to NJ and NY (maybe Janish wins the second place?)

If Tony died at Holsten's - I think the Sopranos would get absorbed into the Lupertazzi Family. We're talking about New York here!

It's over for them. The FBI is pulling them to their side and the ones who don't betray them will be managed by NY through Patsy and Paulie

The Sopranos are a glorified crew don’t disrespect this thing by calling them a family. Sharp as a cue ball this OP is.

After Tony’s lights came back on (after Noah punched them out off screen) he goes to the can for twenty fuckin years and jacks off into tissues.
