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.Middlesbrough have given their new manager, Steve McClaren, permission to rejoin the England coaching set-up.
While the Leicester manager, Peter Taylor, is waiting to hear whether his club will support an extension to his association with Sven Goran Eriksson, McClaren has been given Middlesbrough's blessing to resume part-time coaching with the Football Association. It was a role he assumed in the wake of Kevin Keegan's resignation in October until Manchester United, where he was assistant manager, put a stop to the arrangement in the wake of England's 2-1 victory over Finland in March. They argued his brief had been only to stabilise England's performances and that this had been achieved.
"I've had four games with Sven and one on my own and it's done nothing but good," said McClaren. "It means a good profile for myself and the club."
McClaren, who yesterday signed a five-year contract to replace Bryan Robson as manager at the Riverside Stadium, has yet to speak to the FA, although Keith Lamb, the Middlesbrough chief executive, yesterday confirmed the club's approval of the idea.
