I re-listened to the David Burke interviews this afternoon. His CV is better than I remember and what was interesting is that Gus and TB interviewed him for the job together.
The best thing to do is listen to the Albion Roar interviews with David Burke. That will tell you everything you need to know about the recruitment process at the Albion.
