When is he due to arrive. He officially starts his job on Tuesday. Or is he already here? He said in the paper last week he was going to meet up with Fitzy this week when he arrived

He's gonna coach the club very skype apparently.

It's about time he was here though jokes aside.

can't get in, refused Visa.

apparently he swore at an annoying wasp flying around his face two months ago and this was recorded on you tube and reported to the Aus police who slapped a swearing order on him, picked up by the border police and Visa cancelled.

knowing our luck!!!!!

Preseason training doesn't start for a couple of weeks and he'll be doing plenty of prep anyway.

Next week is fine, there's no panic.

Thanks Jonesey.

Seen him in asda this morning with a trolley full of silver polish in it

More like a trolley full of cotton wool to wrap our forwards in !

Peter Gentle = Wheres Wally

We all know where the wally went pal.

Dont panic he is booked to fly with Qantas this weekend...

He's in the country. Woo-hoo.

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.
