Mauricio Pochettino is refusing to get distracted by the clamour for Tottenham to win trophies, insisting the long-term development of the club is more important.
Spurs have been one of the best teams in England under Pochettino over recent seasons but have yet to back that up with honours.
They have not won any silverware since lifting the League Cup in 2008 and detractors have suggested Pochettino's work at the north London club is being undermined by the gaping holes in the trophy cabinet.
The FA Cup remains their only hope this season ahead of their quarter-final clash at Swansea on Saturday.
