Oasis have been placed at the centre of Manchester City’s masterplan to be the world’s biggest club.
City’s new owners want to launch their new era with a huge party in the City of Manchester stadium next summer — with Oasis topping the bill.
The Abu Dhabi United Group — who bought the club for £220million this month — will pay whatever it takes, so the lads are in line for a £1million windfall.
The idea came up after the new team in charge of the club asked current worker to help them draw up a blueprint for the brand.
They also suggested the rockers could re-record club theme Blue Moon for the team to run out to at home games.
An insider revealed: “Employees who know the club inside out were asked to put forward suggestions.
“The owners want to ally themselves with strong brands and see Oasis as playing a vital role helping to move the club forward very quickly.
“They hope to use the Gallaghers — the club’s most famous fans — to improve the brand and relationship with fans.
“Acts such as Oasis don’t come cheap — but obviously that isn’t an issue.”
