He's arrived!

Welcome to Hull Mr G hope all goes well with the move over here I cannot wait for next season

Great news! Even better news we can watch an exclusive interview live on Hull FCTV at 1pm and email questions in before his official unveiling at 2pm. Great work FC!

Lets hope he isn`t under the impression all the fireworks are for his arrival.

Looking forwards to seeing his influence on the team. There are some in the rumours thread complaining about his lack of Head Coach experience, but he's got good experience from his time as assistant for Wests and Aus and will bring in fresh ideas to the team which is exactly what we need.

Let's hope RH gives the appropriate amount of airtime to Gentle's arrival and initial press conference/Q&A as new head coach of the region's 2nd largest sporting club (after City). We've heard more than enough on and from Sandercock already.



I know there's live coverage on hullfc.tv - assuming there'll be a recording for those of us who are gainfully employed?

I await 30 minutes of sound-bites and clichés.

And 768 posts on here moaning that he's too laid-back/full of spin/vague/showing head coach inexperience*

*delete as appropriate.

I'll go out on a limb and say Gentle could be the best coach we've had since, er McRae. Ooh, bonus, we get him [uas well.[/u

As for the last bit Mrs B, I alongside thousands of Hull fans hope you're right.

I would hope so, there will be plenty of fans who can't watch live.

Nah, Jimbo's gone.

Hopefully PG will tell it like it is and then crack on with sorting things out over the next few weeks so we can look forward to 2012 with even more optimism

I thought he came across well. He seemed bright and made good comments without making comments he has no chance of living up to. P.s. to those that missed it, it'll be on Hull FC TV later apparently.

You could tell he was trying very hard not to criticise Agar in the interview,

very positive signs for the future regarding youngsters and playing people out of their natural positions

Impressed me in the Q&A. Still one or two might come in but lots of emphasis on the youngsters. Thinks the percieved lack of depth will be covered by youngsters to a degree.

He said he wasn't a rant and rave coach, all about preparation, education and creating a winning enviroment for the players to work in.

i must admit i liked the fact the fact that he says he is and educator as well as an innovator, 2 great traits to have as a head coach, reading netween the lines looks you was right Paul as it looks like there will be 2 coming in.

They're back on for the press conference.

Providing the quality is right, he did say about not wanting to block the pathway for the kids. I liked the part about being and educator/innovator, bodes well.

Yes I enjoyed the innovator comment too. Gwillym does my head in.

Notice how Gollum asks him questions if he does things like Sandercock ? Sports sciences for example, what a 2@

Surprised when he asked him about the job he didn't mentioned KR's approach.

ohhh, Bomber says he expects Obst to be released this week and new signing announced within 24 hours.

24 hours of Obst being released. Obviously its a done deal with said new player.

Deal has been done a while for the incoming player.

Any names? I'd be ecstatic if it was someone with the same name as another player in squad

Hoping this will be available on FCTV later, missed majority with a shouting 2 year old in the background
