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.Wolverhampton Wanderers' search for a new manager in the aftermath of Graham Taylor's resignation took a turn they would not have dreamed of yesterday when Brian Clough announced he was interested in the vacancy, writes Guy Hodgson.
The self-styled Old Big 'Ed made this surprise attempt to return to football via a telephone call to a Nottingham news agency. "They [the FA] would not give me the chance of preceding or following Graham Taylor as manager of England," he said, "but I would not mind succeeding him at Wolves."
Clough, 60, the only man other than Kenny Dalglish and Herbert Chapman to win the English championship with different clubs, resigned from Nottingham Forest two and and a half years ago and has since had little or no involvement in the game. He writes a column for a Sunday newspaper but is believed to have attended only one live game since leaving the City Ground, a reserve match between Forest and Derby.
Wolves, who were making no comment on Clough's announcement last night, can cross two candidates off their list: Ron Atkinson and Gordon Strachan insist they are staying with Coventry.
