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.Gus Poyet is surely destined for the Premier League, and sooner rather than later.
It will be a sad day for Brighton if and when one of the big clubs come in for him, but it seems inevitable that he will be snapped up, given the way he has come in and revitalised the club, from top to bottom.
I played against him a few times towards the end of my career and he was always a real handful, very strong and with great stamina. More recently I have chatted with him a few times when he has appeared on Match of the Day 2 and I have been hugely impressed.
He is very knowledgeable about all facets of the game, and knows about all the other stuff that goes on behind the scenes. Gus knows just how to run a football club from top to bottom and by all accounts has made fundamental changes to the way Brighton is run.
No disrespect to Brighton but Gus would, I am sure, like to manage one day in the Premier League, and if he keeps on progressing like he has, I am sure it will happen in the near future. He takes his team to Stoke today and I fancy them to get a replay.
