Wonder if you'd have the same opinion had Poch picked one up. Winning anything is a step in the right direction and could well change the mentality of the players. To a club that's winning everything it's of course going to be less significant. To a team that's won nothing for ages it would be huge.
Vincent Kompany cited City's winning of their first FA Cup in 2011 as critical on their path to the success they've enjoyed since then
It was their first major trophy in 40 years
He said it gave the team the feeling of what it took to win, get over the line and feel success
The next year they won the league
I'm not sure the league cup would have the same effect, but winning the FA Cup - which has been dominated by the previous "Big Four" over the last 20 years could have a similar impact for Spurs
In the 1980's we were second only to a great Liverpool team in terms of major trophies won - i'd love to have that feeling again...
It's why Poch's attitude towards it was so infuriating - and perhaps why we always came up short in big games - in the Cups and league - because we never developed that feeling, or had a manager who cared to
