Or how about Middlesboro, Kentucky?? Not far from the Cumberland Gap, for all you Lonnie Donegan fans out there... Link to post Share on other sites

That Abola article is the earliest source we have right now about a supposed link to us and that was 3 weeks ago and then today the director post takeover mentioned us and Benevento again. Problem here is if the groups name really is America Soccer that's so generic it will be nigh on impossible to pin down from a google search unless they had media articles written about them. There is a vast difference between investment and takeover though. They could have just invested 10% in Boro. Link to post Share on other sites
Borodane 6,301 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 I'm sure the trusted Gazette reporters will ask the club if they see it here? Rather simple question considering it's from a reputable portuguese newspaper. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,639 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Almost certainly a load of rubbish. Link to post Share on other sites
Herbivorous 103 Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 America Soccer Company Inc. seems to be involved in the manufacture of sports apparel. If they're a successful business, maybe they want to diversify?? Link to post Share on other sites

Usually it's actually a story about Middlesbrough though. This is the first time I remember seeing us be a throwaway link in another clubs takeovver. EDIT: Although I do agree with you that the most realistic answer is the Portuguese paper has their facts wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

They've probably just picked out Boro and Benevento to seem more "legit" and wealthy and hope no-one notices. It's hardly a big newsstory. We need the Gazette to question Boro about this or get in touch with said investment company. Link to post Share on other sites
