I don't think many people particularly care why.
In my mind they probably need to drop Cheryl and Louis. Cheryl didn't succeed in doing anything for the show and, by the end of series 7, had lost a lot of popularity anyway. Louis has just passed his sell by date; unless they can turn him back into the judge he was in the early series (where he was actually critical and on point) then he should go.
As for replacements they have to be realistic. I think Nicole should be re-introduced if possible as she worked well enough with Simon on the US series and has a mad side which would ease the loss of Louis. I'd like to see Robbie Williams on the panel but am not holding my breath. If he can't/won't do it then Olly might be a reasonable choice as he at least has a personality. He will go easy on the acts though so Simon and Mel B will need to be used as counterpoints.
