Hey Stanko, maybe it was not clear enough... I just meant that the release of the album (s) itself, especially in Internet days, is done amateurish. I would never call his songs that way of course, even his worst ones get more playtime at my place than what is on the Radio today.. Not that there are many bad ones.
But remember how the 2015 tour dates where put out and now this story with keeping it oh all soo secret.. that I think is dealed in a not very professional way to say the least.

Couldn't agree more. Crockford's approach to managing M. Knopfler is so passive it appears he has somewhat lost any interest in this client now. Mark can't be an easy artist to manage as he isn't what you would call your average artist and I understand there is some long time relationship between them, however after the debacle last time I think a change might have suited both parties.
Which debacle??

Mark is the one and only boss on board, he never wanted to have a « Colonel Parker » to manage and decide for him, he’s the captain and I’m sure every body knows that and don’t want to mess with the boss.
As far as I know, MK isn't an easy boss even his nowadays low profile (in comparation with the DS days and the early days of his solo career) and I'm pretty sure that PCM doesn't walk any single step without the "yes" of MK.
What I don't understand is why they stick to the old rules of marketing during the internet era... This way of managing things had a sense before internet but now...
For example, all this delay announcing the record, they are missing the chance to create movement and expectation releasing information little by little. Even us we are bored of waiting and stop caring about it...
