[edit] Complexity of character

I note the edit=removal of the "Background" section by 88.106.211.247 (a first edit on Wiki for this person), a section which tried to note the contrast in Clifford's character. I think it would be far too easy to write a highly negative article on Clifford, and miss the contrast bought about by his (contrasting) motivations: business and personal/his daughter. The bulk of the article still focus's on his publicity activty, much of which is negative - but removing the Background section as exists removes NPOV position or understanding to become highly POV. I have hence reverted this section to the article. Rgds, - Trident13 22:08, 24 June 2006 (UTC)

Are you kidding? This article is unbelievably POV in favour of Clifford already added by user Tubect on 23:34, 12 July 2006

[edit] Gay clients

Any references to support the assertion that Clifford has helped gay players look straight? Regards, Notreallydavid 03:36, 1 February 2007 (UTC)

Tagged article. Gay clients section and clients section require cleanup. If anything, to source allegations or to wikify language by someone interested in subject matter. ScMeGr 19:28, 5 February 2007 (UTC)

My change to the article was not vandalism, I was trying to put some point in his defense. He cannot be blamed by himself for the lack of gay players in british football

[edit] Photo?

I can't be the only person who finds it at least mildly amusing that the most famous publicist in Britain doesn't appear to have a photo we can use! 81.153.111.37 (talk) 04:02, 23 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] This writing is awful

Clifford sometimes works for free, but makes sure everyone knows about it.

Obviously the tabloid hacks that he works with have produced the copy on this page! This reads even worse than the Mirror or the Sun. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.203.201.92 (talk) 16:09, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

Ok, the second part of the sentence was inserted as a one off edit. Therefore considering it vandalism, I've deleted it. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.203.201.92 (talk) 16:18, 28 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Weasel Words

Someone re-write this article. It's totally one sided. And dire. Jbeckwith (talk) 15:17, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
