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.Peter Reid has confirmed his interest in taking over as coach of Thailand but insists he has not yet signed a contract.
The former Sunderland and Manchester City manager has been out of football since leaving his role as boss of Coventry in January 2005.
Reid, 52, was reported to have agreed terms with the Thailand FA but denies the deal has been completed, although it is likely to be rubber-stamped next week.
"My agent is going over there next week hopefully to finalise things but nothing's been signed at the moment," Reid told Sky Sports News.
Reid turned down a job with Iran for "personal reasons", he said, but the Thai opportunity has come at the right time for the former England midfielder, who admitted he has struggled to find work in the English leagues.
He will not have the chance to lead Thailand to the World Cup in two years' time, however, after they failed to reach the final stage of Asian qualifying.
"This one does interest me," Reid said.
"It's good for the CV and hopefully I can get them to the next World Cup because they failed in the pre-qualifying for this one."
