NAC Breda fans hang banner in protest outside Man City's Etihad amid reports of takeover

A group of supporters from Eerste Divisie side NAC Breda have hung a banner outside the Etihad Stadium in protest against a prospective buy-out from the City Football Group.

The CFG was founded five years after they bought Manchester City as Sheik Mansour looked to expand his influence across world football. They now own two other clubs outright - MLS side New York City and A League champions Melbourne City, as well as holding stakes in a multitude of other teams.

Breda are the latest club being sized up for a takeover by the CFG, which if successful would be the 11th team to fall under City's control. They are currently ninth in the Dutch second tier and last won a major trophy in 1973.
