LONDON -- Mauricio Pochettino has challenged the notion that Tottenham Hotspur need to win a trophy soon, insisting that winning one of the domestic cups would change nothing at the club.
Harry Kane has said there will always be doubts about Pochettino's Tottenham until they win something and the manager's detractors have argued that he needs a smaller piece of silverware, like the Carabao Cup, to have something to show for the club's progress and prepare the players for bigger prizes.
But Pochettino, who has said Spurs are too big a club to focus on winning the domestic cups, does not think anything would change if they win the Carabao Cup or FA Cup this season, even if he would like to do so.
