'It's clear that it's not working': Wolves boss Nuno Espirito Santo urges Premier League to ditch pay-per-view football as he says 'fans are not engaging with it'

Nuno Espirito Santo has urged Premier League bosses to ditch pay-per-view football amid widespread anger from fans.

Nuno's Wolves side face Crystal Palace at Molineux on Friday night, with fans forced to fork out £14.95 - on top of their existing subscriptions - to watch the game on BT Sport's Box Office channel.

Supporters of many clubs have boycotted pay-per-view and instead donated the cost of the game to local charitable causes - and Nuno believes the model has already failed.

Sportsmail revealed on Tuesday that pay-per-view averaged fewer than 40,000 viewers per match over the first two rounds - not including Brighton's 1-1 draw with West Brom last Monday.
