i heard some rumor the sporting company is being taken over by some us consortium. Is it real or just some fake news.

Far as I know the brand is owned by Mike Ashley of Sports Direct. He may have sold it of course.

It matters less these days. The key word in 21C is "globalized manufacturing".

Do you really think Jaguar is still a British car ?
In fact, it might be more Ford than other Ford model.

Lotus is now shipping with Toyota engines(which is subsequently outsourced to Yamaha).

Do you really think Toyota Camry is a Japanese car, then?
In fact, Camry is more American than any other American branded cars.

Dunlop sport is owned by Sports Direct and SRI sports and others. So it's difficult to define now.
