Case 1: Turkey, season 2011/2012 Fenerbahce Universal ISTANBUL winns the regular season without losing even one game! The same team winns the CEV CL W in Baku (AZE), second turkish team to win it after Vakif TTelekom ISTANBUL last year. And then?

One bad day during the playofs and Fenerbahce lost one game and lost the championship. But beside that, the team lost the possibility to participate in the next year's CEV CL W. The last years's champion will not even take the round part!!!

Case 2: You remember when Azerbeijan teams got the chance (but it didn't happen) to have two clubs in the CEV CL W F4? And there was a situation that F4 was about to be moved from Azereijanto some other country in the last moment because no clubs were from AZE to participe?

Case 3: World Cup 2011 Japan: Beside the game played in Hammamatsu between I do not remember who (maybe BRA-RUS) when the president of FIVB came to see the game and the gym was full of people (president was very happy to see so many volleyball funs coming to see games!!!), almost all the other games from the World Cup 2011 were played in front of max 100 persons (journalists included)!!! 

Case 4: Rumors that nobody wanted to organize last year's Final4 of CEV CL for men? And suddenly CEB board goes to Poland for a meeting and we have a Final4 in Poland once again in a very short period of time?!!!

Case 5: ...

Case 6: ...

And now PGE gets the invitation to participate in World Club Championship in Diha this year? Strange...:)

Conclusion: We need PRODUCT, my friends, not good old personal system give-get, because the VOLLEYBALL is what matters, today we are here, tomorrow we are not here...or maybe this is not the same for everybody?
