Manchester Confidential's Mark Garner is not a man to mince his words.

Talking about the controversial subscription model for his currently free-to-view online empire he brushes off any criticism he has received (mainly on the How-Do comment board) and tells us that "it's time more publishers put their balls on the table and took a chance."
