Manchester City superfan Noel Gallagher has told talkSPORT this season will be a ‘massive failure’ if the Blues fail to qualify for next year’s Champions League.
It’s been a disastrous end of the season for outgoing manager Manuel Pellegrini, with City bowing out of the Champions League semi-final in pathetic fashion against Real Madrid, while their Premier League top four hopes have also crumbled in recent weeks.
A slide in results, claiming just one win in four games, means Man City now need West Ham to beat Manchester United on Tuesday night to keep their chances alive.
If United win their final two games of the season, City - who only have one more game to play - win finish fifth.
And Gallagher joined the Sports Bar on Monday night to vent his fury and frustration with the team.
“If we end up failing to qualify for the Champions League, this season will be a massive failure - even though we won the League Cup,” the English rock legend and High Flying Birds frontman told talkSPORT.
“The fact a top four place is not in our hands is unfathomable.
“It’s an absolutely disgrace that City are waiting on West Ham to do us a favour against Manchester United.
"And Leicester are 17 points in front of us – that’s just insane!
“We’re in big trouble here, because if we don’t qualify for the Champions League, how are we going to attract the players who are rumoured to be coming?
“There’s talk of big players coming in the summer, and if they all want to play in the Champions League, are they going to come?
“Pep has a massive job on his hands.”
Pellegrini had the chance to end his reign at the club with glory, after guiding City to their first ever Champions League semi-final.
But, despite playing in what was arguably the biggest game in the club’s history, the Blues’ stars failed to turn up – registering just one shot on target as Real won 1-0 to progress to the final against Atletico Madrid.
And Gallagher has plenty to say about that, too.
“I was out there in Madrid and the whole thing was just so disappointing, the two legs were really deflating,” he added. “To not muster a shot on target was a pretty damning statistic.
“I was walking out of the Bernabeu thinking, ‘I would have rather got beat 5-0’.
“If a manager like Mourinho, Klopp or Mancini was on the touchline instead of Pellegrini, would the team have mustered a bit more fight? I think they would have. I’m looked over at the manager during the game, and he’s stood with his hands in his pockets and I’m just thinking, ‘come on man!’
“Who wants to get to the semi-final of the Champions League and finish fifth in the Premier League? No one!
“I would have rather gone out in the last-16 and finished third.”

Noel Gallagher Says Pep Guardiola Has A Massive Job On His Hands At Manchester City

Jose Mourinho
Jurgen Klopp
Manuel Pellegrini
Neymar
Noel Gallagher
Paul Pogba
Pep Guardiola
Rock legend and Manchester City fan Noel Gallagher has issued a warning to his fellow supporters – having Pep Guardiola as manager will not guarantee success.
The Spaniard’s widely expected switch to the Etihad Stadium was confirmed on Monday, with the former Barcelona coach to succeed Manuel Pellegrini in the summer.
It’s a huge coup for City, who reportedly fought off interest from a host of other top clubs from around the world to land the outgoing Bayern Munich boss, including rivals Chelsea and Manchester United.
The 45-year-old has won top honours at every club he has coached – three La Liga, two Champions League and two Copa del Rey titles at Barcelona, plus two Bundesliga titles and one DFB Cup at Bayern Munich – and he could well be the difference as City look to end their wait for European glory.
But High Flying Birds frontman Gallagher has attempted to calm the early celebrations – "he hasn’t even landed in Manchester yet" – by asking: "Can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?"
Speaking on the Sports Bar, the former Oasis icon told talkSPORT: “It’s an amazing statement of intent, but some of my City friends are celebrating like we’ve won something!
“He doesn’t really guarantee anything. What having Guardiola does is he opens the door to the top, top players
“I’d have thought if the likes of Paul Pogba, if he hasn’t made his mind up about where he’s going at the end of the season, Guardiola could potentially swing it for him to come to City.
“We hear rumours of Neymar and he could swing it with him too. These players want to play for the best managers.
"I think Guardiola has work to do – we should have won five Premier League titles in a row with this squad – but he’s widely regarded as the best, so we’re about to find out aren’t we?
“Managers at top teams are judged on Champions Leagues now, and I think HE would consider his time at City a failure if he doesn’t win the Champions League with all the resources he will have at his disposal.
“We’re about to see if he’s one of the greats aren’t we, because he’s not coming to a two-horse race here.
“We’re about to see if the old adage is true – can he do it on a cold rainy night in Stoke?
“Not only is it a great thing for City, it’s a great thing for all English football fans. Although we can’t seem to attract the top players in the world anymore, the top managers are coming here - him and Klopp and if Jose goes to United, which I’m sure he will now.”
