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.Paolo Di Canio attempted to manage Sunderland using “unprecedented levels of fear”, according to former Black Cats chairman Niall Quinn.
The Italian was fired on Sunday amid talk of widespread unhappiness within the squad about his management style.
Quinn, a former player, manager and chairman at the club, told the Sun: "Paolo's idea to rule through fear was to an incredible level. I think they were unprecedented levels of fear.
"Players weren't allowed to speak to staff - their own work colleagues. It's awful stuff.
"If I was a senior player, and I saw it coming to breaking point, I think I would have been hard-pressed not to stand up and give it back to him as well.
"It was very brave of the players to do what they did. Player power will be criticised but in this particular incident they felt they were going into battle for a leader who wasn't with them."
