Falling out of Europe could set us back years.he's right about what though, that they won the cup and got relegated? is this a legitimate concern for us?

He isn't right though, because it's just one example, and a terrible one with no relevance to us. We're not in a relegation fight, we're not going to end up in League One because we won the FA Cup.
We're a team that needs to win something, and soon. We're realistically not winning the league or CL in the next two seasons with the stadium move and Wembley, and winning a cup doesn't mean some kind of automatic finish outside the top four as is being implied.

TBF the fact that he doesn't come onto SC and run his intended comments by us first before uttering a word is a bit poorTrust Spurs fans to be so precious about something like this, he literally hasn't said anything wrong if read the article in context, it's all about priorities which is something we know about anyway PL/CL -> FAC/CC
That isn't what he meant at all.
There. I'm sure that's what you meantthe media have predictably lied through their fucking teeth

Not the lucrative one.winning a cup puts us in Europe though
prioritization is fine, but Wigan really aren't relevant here. by bringing them into it, it suggests it's not possible to try to win a cup and still be competitive in bigger competitions, yet the other big clubs manage it. those are more relevant comparisons to make.By aiming for that, they ultimately didn't survive by not concentrating on the priority I suppose. Which would.have been.survival. in our case, competing for the top prizes and Europe.
His comments, in context are about prioritization. Just my take.on it. Take.it or leave it.
There. I'm sure that's what you meant
Then the club PR department should prep him. And I think they do, but you can't legislate every time for everything, they could (and do) literally spin everything they can, you'd end up saying nothing at all. Ever.It's happened to him a few times now to be honest, he's still learning how to play the game. You don't see other managers saying similar things - one day Poch will learn (he obviously doesn't care what the Sun thinks or writes, but the club PR department does).
Not the lucrative one.

we've qualified for the CL less times than we've failed to, and still managed not to spiral into oblivion. Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool have all failed to qualify for the CL recently and been ok. Arsenal aren't in it this year and will continue to be ok. but we'll somehow be set back years if we don't qualify?
