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.Chelsea have appointed former Liverpool managing director Christian Purslow as their new head of global commercial activities.
The 50-year-old will lead the Blues' attempt to expand their brand around the world as they seek to become a growing force on and off the field.
"The club believes Mr Purslow has the vision and the leadership qualities to help us achieve these plans," said a short statement on Chelsea's website.
Purslow joined Liverpool in June 2009, succeeding Rick Parry, with the aim of bringing more revenue to the club although his role changed when then owners George Gillett and Tom Hicks decided to sell the club.
The businessman then helped the sale process to the group led by current Reds owner John W Henry before stepping down from his role in October the following year.
He remained as a non-executive director and special adviser until February 2011.
