Campaigners say Pogonophobia had role in sacking of Nuno at Spurs
The Beard Liberation Front, the informal network of beard wearers, has said that pogonophobia, irrational prejudice against facial hair, has played a part in the sacking of Spurs manager Nuno on Monday.
Nuno has been famous for his footballing managerial beard power but he clearly arrived in the middle of a period of turmoil at Spurs, not of his making and largely beyond his ability to control.
However the campaigners say that Spurs boss Daniel Levy is follicly challenged and may feel that hirsute managers are a threat to his own authority.
BLF Organiser Keith Flett said, Nuno is one of the most distinctive beards in football management. Clearly his beard power did not align well with the current situation at White Hart Lane but he will surely prosper elsewhere.
