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.Manchester United's chief executive David Gill has been appointed as a vice-chairman of the Football Association.
The 55-year-old was put forward by the Professional Game Board to replace Premier League chairman Sir Dave Richards in the role. The recommendation was endorsed by the FA Board and then approved by the FA Council.
Gill said: "I'm delighted to have been appointed vice-chairman of the Football Association. The health and success of the Football Association is vital to the future of the game in England and I hope to justify the board's faith in me by helping to shape discussions and actions to deliver that."
Gill, an FA board member for six years, will join Roger Burden, who represents the amateur game, as one of two FA vice-chairmen.
He is also the FA's nomination for the Uefa executive committee at the elections in May.
