Oasis star Noel Gallagher is excited by talk of a takeover at Manchester City.
The Blues fan said: "This takeover is never going to happen now, because the government has had his bank accounts frozen. It's pure Man City. I'm loving it.
"The fixture list comes out on Thursday, we haven't got a manager, we've only got half a team and we haven't sold any season tickets. It's brilliant.
Gallagher believes that City have already missed out on the best possible replacement for Stuart Pearce . . . and it wasn't Claudio Ranieri.
He said: "In the dugout, I would like to have seen Sam Allardyce, but he went to Newcastle.
"It depends who's available now. It would be good if they got a foreign coach. But it all depends on the takeover. If there's no takeover, we'll get Neil Warnock."
Gallagher added that City will miss midfielder Barton's influence next season, and argued that the controversial 24-year-old has been unfairly criticised.
"He's a good lad, Joey. He's a friend of mine," Gallagher said. "He gets a bad rap. But when you meet him, he's a really nice lad.
"It's good for him that he's moving to Newcastle. But I'm sad to see him go because he's our best player.
"I was sad to lose Sylvain Distin. He was another of our best players.
"At least we haven't lost Richard Dunne yet but he'll be out of the door soon."
