Look at Ferguson in 1990. Wrighty makes his hat-trick and it's game over. No Treble, no 'greatest club in the world', no 'Theatre of Dreams.
You think Wenger is still in the job in 2003 with an empty trophy cabinet? Bóllocks.
Winning 'shít' cups is what great managers and ambitious clubs do on the way to somewhere better. Vulgar or not, trophies are the currency of footballing success. Without them, you're an also-ran.
