Tottenham news: Ray Parlour staggered manager Mauricio Pochettino said winning cups only builds egos
Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has told talkSPORT he was staggered by Tottenham manager Mauricio Pochettinos comments that winning cups only builds your ego.The Spurs boss admitted his disappointment after watching his side suffer exits in both the EFL Cup and FA Cup in the space of four miserable days, in respective defeats to Chelsea and Crystal Palace.1

Mauricio Pochettino has been linked with the vacant roles at Real Madrid and Man United

But the Argentine also offered an alternative take, explaining a top-four finish is more important than lifting a cup anyway.“Again, we’re going to have the debate whether a trophy will take the club to the next level. I don’t agree with it. It only builds your ego. The most important thing for Tottenham right now is to always be in the top four.”Tottenham remain well-placed for achieve that goal. They currently sit third in the Premier League, seven points clear above the chasing pack of Arsenal and Manchester United. But Parlour told talkSPORT on Monday morning he was baffled by the statement, insisting winning silverware is the most important goal of any footballers career.The Gunners legend said on the Alan Brazil Sports Breakfast: At the end of your career people will ask you, what did you win, and I have been quite proud to say that I won the Premier League and FA Cup.Thats what its all about.Its not about how much money you earn. You could have a big house and earn 300,000-a-week for five years, fantastic, its great to do that.But its still all about trophies, so Im staggered by what he said.Of course Champions League football is so important for every single club financially.But youve still got to win trophies havent you?

"I'm staggered by what Pochettino's said." "A top 4 place is financially important but you have to win trophies!"@RealRomfordPele reacts to Poch claiming winning cups is "only builds egos".What do you think #THFC should prioritise: a top 4 finish or a trophy? pic.twitter.com/iqgmL7VVdC— talkSPORT (@talkSPORT) January 28, 2019
