Why, when a player or manager is popular are they referred to by their first or given name, sometimes even given the ridiculous prefix, Sir.

Once out of favour or considered run of the mill they're referred to by their family or surname.

What's this all about?

I'm not quite sure I can answer the reasons for that Cat. ;)
 
To disassociate oneself from them and their failures as opposed to claiming a closeness to them and their successes.

Levels of association, the divisive them and the collective us. Shared success, individual failure.

It really is as simple as that ‘the cat’ 😉

Gracias, sénor.
 
Is this to do with Chris Wilder?….the anti Christ according to the Gazette online today! Fwiw I thought he was ok and enjoyed the Cup run, didn’t enjoy the season after so much and he gave the club and players an easy excuse!

Not quite true. I find that when out of favour their surname is usually prefixed with 'fuqqing'.
 
It's to give favour.

Same way the press always said 'Boris' or 'Rishi' whereas they use 'Starmer'.
