WE SHOULD’VE KNOWN things were going to get out of hand when Sky Sports sent poor old Gary Cotterill to Mainz.
His assignment was clear: get us something no one else has.
So, Gary went to Klopp’s house and interviewed an intercom.

Whoops!

There was worse to come though.
The Liverpool Echo’s minute-by-minute of Klopp’s journey to Merseyside included a link to FlightRadar24.com – y’know, just in case you wanted to monitor how Klopp’s plane was getting on in the air.
And then there was the hysteria when Klopp actually landed. A couple of photography agencies quickly filed some grainy photos of the ex-Borussia Dortmund coach looking quite bemused by the level of attention in the back of a car.
His face seemed to scream ‘Is there still time to turn back?’
His every move was covered. Within moments of arriving at a city-centre hotel, footage emerged of photographers genuinely running after Klopp’s car, desperately chasing a photo of a 48-year-old, blonde and slightly grizzled football manager.
And it was all more than a little overboard.
