NAC Breda fans stage anti-CFG protests at Man City, Troyes and Lommel: Stay out!

NAC Breda fans are furious with their club on the brink of selling up to City Football Group (CFG).

Manchester City's umbrella company are finalising taking a controlling stake in NAC in order to add the Dutch outfit to their expanding club portfolio.

In response, NAC supporters groups have travelled to England, France and Belgium to stage protests.

On Sunday, the groups published photos of banners hung at the Etihad Stadium (Manchester City), the Stade de l'Aube (Troyes AC) and the Soevereinstadion (Lommel SK).

"Stay out of our territory, NAC is not a City Group story," read the banners.

A statement from the NAC fans group also read: “City group is trying to take over the football world from Manchester. Funded by a petrodollar sheik from a country with dubious views on human rights. Troyes and Lommel have already fallen, but they will never get to us.

"Today we went to the stadiums of Manchester, Troyes and Lommel to make it clear that Breda will not be incorporated. We will continue to fight."
