Well it looks like thats Hull fc 2012. So hows everyone feeling compared to when AP first took over. Myself I,m still more confident than this time last year although feel let down by signings but that maybe be down to our own hype.

What we can say for sure is that he's trying to make things happen.
Cleared out virtually the entire coaching team
Delivering on facilities in the city
Reintroduced pre season camp
Pass prices down (albeit only slightly)
Paid a fee for Lynch
Clear articulation of ambition
Hopefully some good numbers on season passes and shirt sales

The proof will be in how we start next season. Squad looks thin in the forwards IMO, but we have some grounds for optimism after 4 years of Agar.

I saw 'Dawn', thought it was a 'Twilight' thread.

Although I am not overly impressed with our signings I hope Gentle can do a good job with what we have and build from there. I feel more excited than I have previous seasons because I have no idea what it will be like with a new regime and coach, I will be happy if Gentle can take us to top 6, I would be ecstatic with top 4 but I think that may take a couple of years but hey ho you never know.

No Agar , No Hethrington and Rule. What more could the FC fan want. Not bothered to much about Aspinwall and the Martin signings . I would be more concerned if we make these type of signings next season.
As long as we make strides on the playing side (Better defence, support play , more expansive game ) that will do me for next season

If Gentle can introduce a gameplan, a kicking game and have the players showing a half decent attack then I'll be happy. I won't expect any miracles in our first season under Gentle but I hope to see a vast improvement on the last four years. Top eights a must with the team we have, if Gentle is a good coach and can get the best out of the players then top six in his first season in charge will be good, top four would be impressive.

we've got a new coach - thats enough. all else is a bonus

Well im still trying to get over the Martin and Aspinwall signings but apart from them im reasonably happy with things and im looking forward to the new season.

Very Happy,

I think a few got carried away with the names we were going to sign but overall I think we have definately improved the squad of players for next season, with quite a few having a point to prove.

I will be happy with winning more games than we lose and playing attractive football, be cock a hoop with a few wins over the top 4 teams but I think we will have to wait for 2013 at least to see us top 4.

Cannot wait for the season to start and our first friendly.

We should be in with a serious chance of 5th, with anything below 6th a massive disappointment, IMO. 7th or 8th wasn't good enough under Agar and it isn't going to be good enough under Gentle. We have a better squad than last year and 5th or 6th should be acheivable.

Not entirely sure yet.

Pros
Possibly Gentle - although we have no idea yet, but for now any change is good.
Happy about playing Sundays so I can watch the Friday night sky games live.
Looking forward to seeing Seymour, Heremaia and possibly Ellis. (Although the old regime signed these.)
Signing Andy Lynch
Pleased Radford is assistant coach.
Glad the old regime has gone.
Really pleased I can walk to watch the u21's games.

Cons
Not entirely convinced McRae is needed.
Happy enough with the slight pass reduction but pyssed off about the end of the voucher exchange scheme.
Poor signings with Martin and Aspinwall.
Average age of the squad has gone up rather than down.
Uninspiring conditioner and physio team.
Lack of pace in the squad, with the exception of Reece.

I'm more than happy, really looking forward to the new season! I watched the Wakey interview with Agar on youtube and it brought the last 3 seasons back to me like a nightmare!
At last we have the coach we have all desired, a coach who is SURE we will win silverware in the next couple of seasons. Forget about the 2 mundane signings (they may shock us) for me it is onwards and upwards COME ON YOU HULL!!!

Think exactly the same Bones.

Our trouble has been our lack of halfback options,and also (last season),our right hand side.A new head coach,new ideas,fresh impetus,halfback options means we aren't far away.Wasn't sure on both Tony Martin and Martin Aspinwall,but Will Sharp needs a experienced centre beside him,rather than the makeshifts of last season.Aspinwall will provide cover in the back row,so i'm optimistic of a decent season.Top 4/5????,and a cup run to Wembley

It's the most optimistic I have felt since the close season after the GF appearance. So far I have been pleased with the clearing at the club of the coaches etc. In AP we have an owner with drive & a desire for success & a coach who so far for me has already mentioned the little bits we have been lacking for years. I think it is fair to say that the club was probably in a worse state re team affairs then any of us fans really knew.
Roll on the opening fixture as I think we will see a totally different team, we may not get instant success but doubt we will be disappointed like we have over the past few years.
