I suppose the article is a bit weighted anyway ,in a sport with only a couple of dozen viable clubs. Transfer the scenario to football & there over a hundred viable clubs who don't stand a chance of trophies.
But isn't that the point? Without a strong identity and culture that connects the club and spectators we aren't left with an awful lot to hold onto when we end up in the periods without winning a trophy (e.g. 1 trophy win in 13 years)
Right now it seems we have a complete disconnect between the club and the spectators. At best there is disillusionment and people giving up watching, at worst there is growing animosity akin to Spurs and Daniel Levy (for example).
It doesn't feel to me like we are all pulling on the same rope. Or maybe it's just me.
