Only the top two ranks allow the use of sir, those being

KBE/DBE - Knight/Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire
GBE - Knight/Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire

With GBE being the highest attainable.

RANKS
MBE – Member of the Order of the British Empire, is the first rank of the order and is the one which most are admitted to. It allows the holder to put the letters MBE after their name, for example Mr John Smith MBE.

OBE – Officer of the Order of the British Empire, is the second rank of the order and is the one that those who have performed very worthy service are admitted to. The holder uses the letters OBE after their name, for example Miss Jane Smith OBE.

CBE – Commander of the Order of the British Empire, is the mid-rank of the order and is generally awarded for outstanding work in an individual’s respective field. The holder uses the letters CBE after their name, for example Mr John Smith CBE.

KBE/DBE – Knight/Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire, this is the 2nd from highest rank in the order and is awarded usually for long and respected service in an individual’s field. The holder typically will use the title of ‘Sir’ if male in front of their first name and ‘Dame’ if female. KBE is male and DBE is for females.

GBE – Knight/Dame Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, this is the top rank in the order and typically only one or two of these are given out a year – they’re extremely rare and are given out for exceptional service. The holder uses the title of Sir (male) or Dame (female).

Is it just me that thinks this is a load of unnecessary old bollocks?

I noticed Niveapool threw 'girlfriend kicker' Jon Flanagan under the bus.

He'd been put out on loan to Bolton for a while but they have officially let him go.

But he's the Scouse Cafuuuuu mate.

At least that's what they claimed the few months he was in the first XI a few years ago.

They're going to properly Leeds it up if they keep doing this. That's probably 5-6 times what Fekir is on at Lyon - surely no need for them to offer anything like that.

Dont forget that they are trying to bribe him to come and live and play for liverpool. This shows they probably need to go higher.

Well it works with the Arsenal thread so I don't see why it can't work in the Liverpool one :D

It doesn't work. As nailsy said. That seems to be a specific thread for people with an obsessive hatred of the Scousers, whilst whining that they have an obsession with Tottenham.

Anyway, I'll start. I like klopp, I've warmed to him. I like the way that they play football and think they will have a good 2019. I don't want them to, but they look good.

Actually I'm surprised. Would be more their style to come out with "Justice for Jon" t-shirts and encourage their fans to harass his missus on twitter until she dropped the charges.

Meanwhile on Twitter I see Mo Salah has been posing for photo opps with Ramzan Kadyrov.

He's the brutal Chechen leader who for the past two years has been rounding up, torturing and killing LGBT Chechen people and has been accused of crimes against humanity by the Human Rights Watch.

I'm sure Mo's the real victim here of course, laa.

All depends how deep your pockets are, or who you do “favours” for.

I suspect they’ll still sign Fekir. Aulas is no mug, he’s probably just delayed it to try and get a couple more bidders I. After the World Cup should the player perform.
