Atlanta United president Darren Eales says there will be "no blank cheque" from their philanthropist owner after a £2m investment in Aberdeen.

Arthur Blank's AMB Sports & Entertainment owns the Major League Soccer club.

Businessman Dave Cormack, who is based in Atlanta, will invest £3m as he becomes Dons chairman next month.

"There's no intention for us to do any further investment or take over the club," Eales told BBC Scotland.

"We have just built the Mercedes Benz Stadium - one of the best stadiums in the world. That is an area we think we can help with our expertise in terms of best practice in building the stadium in Atlanta."

Both Cormack, who will succeed long-serving Stewart Milne as chairman, and Eales reiterated the club's commitment to building a new stadium at Kingsford to replace Pittodrie.

"It is not just going to be the case of a blank cheque coming in," Eales said. "It is about how we can help each other to be successful within our means.

"There are some good win-wins for both parties. Sometimes you hear of these partnerships between clubs and, for the want of a better phrase, there's no skin in the game, but we put some money in to show our commitment."

Eales said Atlanta had been looking for a "partner club" as they were "looking at any way we can punch above our weight".

"Aberdeen are a perfect community club," he said. "It is a very well run club and they were voted this year by Uefa as the grassroots community club of the year."

Eales said the recently opened Cormack Park training ground and Aberdeen's consistent qualification for European competition had been an attraction.
