Other external factors obviously came into play, but the NME's circulation figures fell from 73,000 when little Conor took over and now stand at a measly 48,000. Have you seen it lately? I thought I was reading Smash Hits Lite.

I think it is unfair to blame the fall in circulation on Conor..... the number of sales in the vast majority of publications is decreasing year by year as we get our news and stories from other sources than a once a week magazine.
In the 70's there was four such ''inkies'' (as they were known) a week....

Whilst you are right about the decrease in sales of most magazines of the NME nature, i really have to disagree and say that Conor has had a big help in the magazines downfall. I used to buy the NME every week and it used to be a great read, but now its absolute rubbish, the only thing its good for is a quick scan in asda when im doing the shopping, and that is down to its editor. Hopefully somebody fresh will be installed and try to change the face of the NME

Santa Cruz is a big waste of money for you, we have got the better end of the deal here. You can have all the quality you want on the field, but you won't win anything without a quality manager. Hughes was brilliant at rovers, but we matched his ambitions and he with ours. Yours are far to high for his quality

As surely as Andi Peters killed TOTP, Conor killed the NME.
Good riddance to the rat-faced little prick.

Not funny but funny. Got a terrible scare for posting that image on here. I was banned from the forums. But now I'm back. I would imagine Bristol Farms would have them in their vegan isle
hmmm
It was your first offence, David decided to lift your ban.
In December 2008 a sub-forum 'the pigsty' has been added where is a specially designed area for flamebait etc.
However, users are not allowed to post obscene images in the forums.
Users are advised to read a sticky thread on top of off-topic forum.
It'd be nice if you do not quote obscene images when you post a reply.
You can make a post without doing so.

Towards the end, this ~ "Despite the NME's habit of picking fights with some of the industry's biggest figures, McNicholas claims he has fallen out with very few of them, with the notable exception of Morrissey, who threatened to sue the title in 2007."
