Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Lou Macari is the unanimous choice of the Stoke City directors to succeed Joe Jordan as manager. Macari relinquished the post at Stoke 10 months ago after taking them to the Second Division title, he then took over at Celtic but was sacked six months later.
Stoke and Jordan parted company 'by mutual consent' last week, when Bob Kenyon was also removed from the board. Yesterday, Kenyon tabled a takeover bid and said: 'I feel I shouldn't have been the one who was asked to resign.'
Aston Villa are optimistic about Mark Bosnich's chances of playing in goal against Internazionale in the Uefa Cup first round, first leg in Milan tomorrow night. Bosnich missed Saturday's win over Ipswich with a knee injury.
Elsewhere in the West Midlands Coventry hope to have the United States winger, Cobi Jones, in their side on Saturday. He was finally granted a work permit yesterday. And Billy Wright is to have his last wish granted by having his ashes scattered over Molineux.
