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.Alan Pardew is the new manager of Crystal Palace, according to his Wikipedia page.
Talks are reportedly at an advanced stage between Newcastle and managerless Palace over a compensation package for the 53-year-old.
However, it seems that some bright spark writing on Wikipedia just could not wait any longer to update his job title.
Pardew signed a five-and-a-half year deal at Newcastle when he took over from Chris Hughton in December 2010. Pardew had been dismissed by Southampton four months earlier.
A return to Palace would see Pardew playing for the club who he helped guide to the FA Cup final in 1990, when, playing as a midfielder, he scored the winning goal as Palace defeated Liverpool 4-3 after extra-time in the semi-final. Palace went on to lose the final 1-0 to Manchester United in a replay at Wembley Stadium, after the final ended 3-3.
Update: The page has since reverted Pardew's title back to Newcastle manager...for now.
