Liverpool fans are getting twitchy for the announcement of Jurgen Klopp as the Reds new manager.
Some supporters just won't believe it until they see it.
That's why any sniff of the former Borussia Dortmund legend anywhere near Merseyside sends Scousers into an absolute frenzy.
Someone snapped a photo of what they thought was Klopp buying himself a new Audi at a dealership in the area.

But it turns out the mystery man was not the idiosyncratic German after all. Instead, it was a chap called
John Vena - a car salesman.
But the story gets even better.
Speaking to the
Liverpool Echo, John said: "I've had people calling me Klopp for ages now. I've had lads come up to me in town in bars for months getting their photographs taken with me.
"Here's what happened originally, Phil Thompson comes in to get his car serviced sometimes, I don't think he even knows my real name so he shouts 'Jurgen!' across the showroom and says we should get a photo, it would send the rumour mill through the roof.
"I've had loads about looking like Jurgen Klopp for months so yesterday was just an opportunity. We had a car outside and one of the lads said come on, so we took a few photos and it's just gone nuts ever since.
"I was sitting with my girlfriend last night crying with laughter as my phone was going ballistic. It made The Metro, The Independent and it's on the BBC gossip page this morning! It's just been hilarious, my phone has not stopped ringing."
Excellent work.
