Oasis look to McGee to restore old glory

Rockers Oasis are planning to turn to their former manager Alan McGee to help them recapture their old magic.

The hitmakers, whose contract with Sony ends in six weeks, have struggled to create their upcoming sixth studio album.

Sources suggest they may turn to McGee, who signed Oasis in 1993 and helped them find fame and success. The two went their separate ways in 1999 when McGee sold his label Creation to Sony.

A source told British newspaper the Daily Star: "Everyone wants to sign them but they want to go through Alan again, probably by creating a new label together and getting a major to distribute the albums."

Band members have refused to confirm plans. Last week Noel Gallagher would only say: "All I'm going to say is our contract is up in six weeks."
