Robbie Williams is not getting a gift from Alan McGee

He might not have quite the sure, safe pair of ears that he had before foisting Oasis on us, but Alan McGee knows a pop tosser when he sees one:

"Robbie's just a showbiz chancer. It's people like him who are destroying British pop culture. He has one per cent of Mick Jagger’s talent. He's the post 9/11 feel good factor. He doesn't mean anything. He's utterly vacant."

Which is fair enough. Although from a man who gave Noel Gallagher a platform, it rings a little hollow.
