“We haven’t got a manager, we’ve not sold any season tickets, brilliant!” complained the guitarist, reports the Daily Star.

He then suggested that him and M-People founder Mike Pickering – who now works for record label Sony BMG – could buy their favourite team.

“I’m thinking of mounting a hostile takeover – me and Mike Pickering,” declared Gallagher. “I reckon we could scrape together about £400,000 in cash and I reckon we would get it for that.”
