AC Milan CEO Marco Fassone was a guest on MilanTV where he answered the questions sent in from Rossoneri fans via social media using #AskFassone. The former Inter and Juventus Director spoke on a wide variety of topics starting with questions from fans regarding the club's balance sheet and talks with UEFA. 

"We are quietly optimistic after talks with UEFA, We've set out our plans and our wide ranging dossier to be as transparent as possible over our balance sheets. UEFA will now analyse everything we presented knowing how big and important AC Milan are. Nothing would change if we weren't to make it into the Champions League nothing would go wrong behind the scenes. AC Milan are still healthy on and off the pitch."

Fassone was the asked about the club's project in China stating that "We have started to see the first result. We have already one sponsor and have a signed a letter of intent with another potential sponsor. Next year we'll start to see the first incomes."

Then naturally Fassone was asked about the future of under fire coach Vincenzo Montella after the poor start to the season reiterating that "We have faith in Vincenzo. We chose him last season and we're backing him all the way. Our Sporting director works with him very closely and he can see the relationship he has with our players. We know we can't change things overnight but results will come. Innaurato? He's very well prepared. Our players have spoken very highly of him and I hope he has a great adventure working for the club."

A lot of Milan fans were very curious regarding the club's plans on building a new stadium to whichj Fassone explained "We think that San Siro doesn't allow you to reach those objectives that a more modern stadium can allow you to reach in terms of revenues and takings, on the medium-period. The gap between Italian clubs and other top clubs in Europe is caused by the stadiums. AC Milan need a stadium of their own, whether it's San Siro or a new stadium has to be decided. It's in AC Milan's best interest to have new stadium: we're on course for making this happen."
