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.Darlington have appointed former Republic of Ireland coach Steve Staunton as their new manager.
The club have also installed experienced former England international Kevin Richardson as his assistant in a double appointment.
Staunton will take over on Wednesday, after Darlington's Johnstone's Paint Trophy tie at Leeds, until the end of the current season. The pair will take charge for Saturday's league game at Dagenham & Redbridge.
Club chairman Raj Singh said: "We're excited about the prospect of working with someone with vast experience in the game and a wealth of contacts. Steve enjoyed a formidable playing career and he has a strong desire to succeed as a manager as well.
"We spoke to a handful of applicants over the weekend and Steve came across as the most professional and organised. He had done some thorough homework on Darlington and League Two, our players and potential new players, some of whom he's already targeted to bring in.
"He's extremely realistic and is aware of the situation here at Darlington, but he's confident he can utilise his contacts to bring players in who will improve our squad."
