KLD and Sartori


Not sure about today but was at the two previous home games. Seen him being driven along the road behind the foundation both times. Once with an exec limo firm and as a passenger with Speakman.
 
KLDs attendance and involvement I have no problem with… sartori’s on the other hand, I have many questions

No. Sartori can simply place shares in a 'blind trust' like every other club does.

Although im not even sure that would be necessary as does Sartori even oen any shares in Monaco, or is it more his wife?
