I guess this about not resting on Laurels. In the early 2000s Nokia had a product that everybody wanted. They got complacent and missed the smartphone boom, and as such can't sell a smartphone for love nor money.
Fans are fickle. If they don't feel they are getting value for money, and that may be in temrs of entertainment, or silverware bragging rights they will go elsewhere. The job of GH is to see when the dip is going to happen, and try to prevent it. If its left until next summer to sort out it may be too late regardless of who is announced to start the 2016 season.
