Nuno Espirito Santo launched a scathing attack on Premier League referee Lee Mason following Wolves' 2-1 defeat to Burnley.
The Wolves boss pulled no punches during a verbal tirade, saying he does NOT want to see Mason officiate any of their games in the future.
Speaking after his side's defeat at Turf Moor on Monday, he said: "All the games we have with Lee Mason is always the same.
"The referee doesn't have the quality for the Premier League.

"I am very disappointed to say it but I would not feel right if I don't...he can't control the players."

"He has to get better. It's about the way he handled the game, not the major decisions.
"Both teams, the players lose their focus because they're always arguing the decisions."
He added: "I just don't want to see him more, I told him I hope he does not whistle a game of ours again.
"He cannot control the players, he does not have the quality to whistle a Premier League game."
Nuno never comments on referees but
