I suggest a game of rock, paper, scissors, followed by chubby bunnies with a pack of marshmallows.
That'll sort out the wheat from the chaff.

I'm not suggesting that Dyche has done anything less than a fantastic job, but it is mildly amusing how genuinely amazed the Burnley chairman seems by something as bog standard as a PowerPoint slideshow. Have computers only just reached that part of Lancashire?

I reckon all the candidates have been sent to a desserted island left to fend for themselves and have to kill each other. Ala Battle royale.
It would explain the lack of news. Expect Chuck Norris to be announced any day soon after he poisoned Yaya Toure with a piece of birthday cake.

Oscar arrived with a breakdown of the teams strength and weaknesses.

'If you accept a three year contract as Manager of Brighton & Hove Albion how long will you actually stay at our club' ? ...

I would say though it is on of the few jobs where you can be constantly sacked for failure and yet still come smelling of roses and be rewarded with yet another lucrative contract by chairman chasing the dream.

I would expect a candidate who is pro-active to do something along these lines, as well as discussing budgets and what they would do within the constraints plus agreeing the exact responsibilities of the role and the support staff

It's just a tool it's how you use it that counts. Someone may correctly feel it's the best way to get their ideas across, while others may just use it for the sake of doing something
In the second of The Secret Footballer books he talks about interviews for managers. Can't remember the details but one scenario was something like:
Question: How would you improve our defensive record?
Answer: Well I noticed that you conceded x% of your goals from set pieces while the average in the division is only y%. Therefore I would change how we defend set pieces by......
