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.Portsmouth administrator Trevor Birch has warned the club will go out of business on 10 August unless an agreement can be reached over the wages of their senior players.
Eight players were understood to be in disagreement over unpaid salaries, although Luke Varney has since joined Leeds. Birch said: "Everybody, including the players, have been served notice that the club will close down on 10 August."
Defender Tal Ben Haim and striker Kanu are among the players owed significant wages, with both players reportedly claiming around £3m in unpaid salaries. Birch added: "The only way the club can be saved is if the players accept compromise deals... If the new owner does not take over the liabilities and guarantee £10m to football creditors then the Football League will not transfer its share and the club will go under."
