Premier League, 2018–2019 Premier League, 2018–2019 “The Premier League is one of the most difficult in the world. There's five, six, or seven clubs that can be the champions. Only one can win, and all the others are disappointed and live in the middle of disaster.” —Jurgen Klopp Hello Delegates! My name is Matthew McDermut and I will be directing the Premier League during WUMUNS 2018. I grew up in Tenafly, New Jersey, a town not far from New York City. I am currently in my junior year at Washington University, where I am studying psychology within the pre-med track. This is my third year involved in Model UN at college and my first time directing. Ever since I was a kid I have been a huge soccer fan; I’ve often dreamed of coaching a real Premier League team someday. I cannot wait to see how this committee plays out. In this committee, each of you will be taking the helm of an English Football team at the beginning of the 2018-2019 season. Your mission is simple: climb to the top of the world’s most prestigious football league, managing cutthroat competition on and off the pitch, all while debating pressing topics that face the Premier League today. Some of the main issues you will be discussing are player and fan safety, competition with the world’s other top leagues, new rules and regulations, and many more. If you have any questions regarding how the committee will run or how to prepare feel free to email me at [email protected]. I look forward to seeing you all at WUMUNS in October!

It is thus time to reconvene and discuss the present and future of our beloved league. Joining us for our meeting will be the chairmen of the twenty teams that make up this league, plus the other five management positions that are essential to the success of this body. While decision-making power is rooted firmly in you, remember that all actions taken by this committee must be approved by the Football Association, represented by the myself, the sitting Chairman. While the committee collectively presides over the Premier League, twenty of the delegates here assembled also control a team in the league. As always, I must remind all team chairmen to do the best they can by their teams. Competition and growth of the parts is good for the growth of the whole. While you work to further the prosperity of your team, keep the interests of the league in mind – our body cannot function or succeed without cooperation. The other five delegates here assembled must attempt to balance out the jealousies and rivalries that may emerge between our power-hungry chairmen. You are the watchmen against the bias that may corrupt and hinder our league. The world of professional football is a dynamic one. Team chairmen have the opportunity to bolster the talent in their squads during two transfer windows during the course of the season. Every new player signed or moved must be reviewed by the five management members of committee. Chairmen will be able to communicate with teams in other leagues around the world and with the other chairmen present in committee to organize the buying, selling, and trading of their players. Team chairmen will find more out about the status of the players on their teams when they arrive to committee. The five advisors can also communicate with the outside world for information that may help the committee as a whole or inform teams regarding their transfers. It is important to not neglect the status of your team as every chairman will be held responsible for his team’s success in the various matches and fixtures. Every team in committee will be competing in the standard Premier League season, the FA Cup tournament, and the English League Cup (EFL Cup) tournament. Your performance in these settings may earn you the privilege of competing in some of Europe’s most prestigious tournaments: the EUFA Champions League and the 5 UEFA Europa Cup. In addition, the winners of the 2018-2019 Premier League and FA Cup will compete in the Community Shield to kick off the season. Since you all will be locked up in committee deciding the fate of the Premier League for most of the season, you can expect updates on your teams’ form so that you can stay up to date with how the season is playing out. Please remember, the overall goal of the committee is to help the Premier League continue to be the most successful club football league in the world! Yours truly, Greg Clarke Chairperson of the Football Association Historical Background Early Football in England has a long and illustrious history. Since its origins in Football the 13th century, English influence has shaped the sport of Football around the world. Early football was often violent; in fact, the first record of a game resembling soccer in 1280 resulted in a stabbing. Football slowly gained popularity in England throughout the early modern era before exploding in popularity in the 19th Century. In 1848, the publication of the Cambridge Rules marked the first-ever codification of the rules of football. Regional variants, such as the more violent Sheffield Rules (which would ultimately form the bases of the Rugby Union in 1878), persisted throughout the following decades. Ultimately, a combination of the Sheffield and Cambridge rules was adopted as the overarching rules of football when the Football Association (FA)—the only national football body in the world at the time—was founded in 1863. The rules state that each game of football has two 45-minute halves, with injury time based on the amount of stoppages during the half added to each at the discretion of the referee. Games can end in ties depending on the competition, but if it is necessary to determine a winner then two 15-minute halves of extra time are played. If the teams are still tied at the end of this period, they enter a tie-breaker known as a penalty shootout. Here, a single player squares of against a goalkeeper in a one- on-one penalty shot attempt. Each team usually takes five shots, but this can be extended if they are still tied after five penalties. These rules are still enforced by the Football Association, the ruling football body in England. In 1862, the oldest existing league club, Notts County F.C., was founded. The following year, the first football tournament, the Youdan Cup, was played. These developments catalyzed the modernization of the game as it started to develop into the sporting phenomenon recognized by millions of fans world-wide today. Rise of the Football The Football Association has continued to be the most important Association and organization in English Football as it oversees both the English Premier League Diversification of (EPL or PL) and the English National teams. While both the EPL and the National teams have some degree of autonomy, at the end of the day the FA has Leagues final say on all matters. The Football Association further cemented their 6 importance by establishing the Football Association Cup in 1871. The FA Cup is the longest running football tournament in the world. It features over 700 competitors, each English teams from the Premier League down to the 10th Division of English Football (the top four being professional and the bottom six being semiprofessional. Around the same time, the FA also organized the first ever international football match and hosted it in England. Then, in 1888, the predecessor to the Premier League, known at the time as the Football League, was founded. Growth led to the Football Association expanding into a second league, Division Two, four years later. The establishment of the second league was especially important because it paved the way for the system in place today. This allowed for the introduction of relegation and promotion in 1965. This system characterizes Modern English football. Many tiers of leagues currently exist in England. Teams can travel between leagues via promotion and relegation at the end of each season. This ability for teams to rise and fall through the ranks based on their skill and failures is one of the factors that makes the Premier League so successful. When a team is promoted, their position in a higher league entails prestige and monetary. Teams that suffer relegation may take a hit to their pride and bottom line, but have an added impetus to fight their way back to the top of the table next year. This fluid dynamism provides an incentive for teams to keep working hard no matter where they are on the league table. Expansion of In the year 1904, FIFA, the international governing body for all of football English was founded. FIFA regulates all of world football and keeps the rules of transfers, Football seasons, and management somewhat consistent. England made strong efforts to stay a major player as football grew to a worldwide craze.
