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
