Is Parker ruthless enough for Premier League?

No Nay Never podcaster Natalie believes that Burnley manager Scott Parker doesn't have what it takes to thrive in the Premier League.

Burnley are without a league win since October and Natalie was particularly aggrieved to see them resist chasing a winner against Manchester United in January – indicating Parker's lack of competitive edge.

"We're at a crossroads at the moment where I'm not 100% sure what Burnley FC's identity is," Natalie told BBC Radio 5 Live’s Monday Night Club.

"We got criticised heavily during the Dyche years for 'dinosaur football', but at least you knew what we had.

"We were known for something even if it wasn't pretty – I don't know what Burnley FC are known as. We are nothing in every single element of the park.

"As lovely a guy as he is, Scott Parker has a ceiling as a Championship manager.

"He's proved consistently that he doesn't quite have whatever it is – whether it's the tactical application, whether it's the ruthlessness or decision-making ability to succeed in the Premier League."
