David Martindale opens up on strain of Livingston's court cases

Martindale, who led the West Lothian outfit to promotion out of the Championship via a dramatic play-off final victory over Ross County last term, was delighted when American businessman Calvin Ford finally completed his protracted takeover after months of behind-the-scenes wrangling back in May. He felt that he was unable to devote the time that he needed to coaching before the change of ownership and is now hopeful that having Ford, the great-great-grandson of Ford Motor Company founder Henry, at the helm will enable him to focus solely on football in the coming months and secure survival. Read more: Speaking as he looked ahead to [[Livingston]]'s opening William Hill Premiership game of the new season against Kilmarnock at Rugby Park tomorrow, he said, 'I'm still going to help out with other bits and bobs around the club. But I'm not bogged down in the middle of court cases, with being one of the main witnesses, like I was before. 'Going to your bed at night, I was constantly thinking about phone calls. You'd be on your way home, you'd be getting phone calls from your lawyers, you'd be opening up emails and speaking about stuff. That was a constant. Looking back, that was three-and-a-half, four years. It was so draining. 'I was trying to focus on the game, but you're constantly thinking about what if, what if, what if, what if with court cases. I just feel there's a wee bit of a chain been lifted around the neck of the football club now that all of that is done and dusted. 'With Calvin and a new board at the football club, it's such a better work environment. It's such a better place to be mentally. There's always been a good culture within the building, but just mentally it's better.' (Image: SNS Group) Martindale added, 'There's a huge workload being taken away from me and I'm extremely comfortable with that. Chipper (head of football operations Brian Rice) is now predominantly dealing with recruitment when the window's open. He's helped me massively with that. Before it was myself dealing with that. 'Calvin coming in, a new board coming in, has allowed us to get a better infrastructure outside the footballing department, which has really helped the footballing department. Now we probably have the basic structure that we need going forward. We're in a good place. 'I think I got good at dealing with this and dealing with that. I'd compartmentalise it and store it away. Unfortunately, it was a lot of the stuff within the court cases I knew about because I was the one constant in the building. I was here pre, during and post so a lot of it fell to me. 'But I couldn't have been giving the best of myself as a manager. That definitely had a negative impact on the team. There were failings on my part as well, but you were keen to to do what's right for the football club. 'I've always done that. If we hadn't done what was right for the football club over the last two or three years there wouldn't be a football club. So all those battles two or three years ago were well worth it. The club is in the best place it has ever been in my tenure and hopefully I can deliver the goods on the park.' Read more: Martindale has vowed to keep faith with the players who clinched promotion last season during the 2025/26 campaign – but he has strengthened his squad extensively during the summer with the help of Rice and he is optimistic the new acquisitions will help Livingston to avoid dropping straight back down to the second tier. 'One of the first conversations that I had with the board when I came in was about receiving help upstairs with recruitment,' he said. 'We're probably still a good bit behind other clubs, but between myself and Chipper we'll get a lot more decisions right. (Image: Ross Parker - SNS Group) 'I think good recruitment is probably 50 per cent plus of the battle. You're going to make mistakes, you're going to get decisions wrong and you can only play 11 players at any one point. So recruitment plays a huge part in the success of the football club. 'Look at some of the bigger clubs over the years. Look at Man United and look at their recruitment. They have spent billions of pounds. So it's not always down to finance. It comes down to skill set, experience and eyes and that's what Chipper's got.'

Trump's 25% tariff on India exposes cracks in Modi friendship and threatens economic growth

In his latest diplomatic broadside, Donald Trump's decision to slap a 25% tariff on key Indian exports - combined with a provocative tweet teasing a new trade deal with Pakistan - has triggered not only economic alarm in India but also political unease for Prime Minister Narendra Modi, whose once-touted personal rapport with Trump now appears to be under strain. 'India has been taking advantage of the US for far too long. Time for a level playing field. New deal with Pakistan coming soon. Much fairer," the US President posted on Truth Social earlier this week. '25% tariff now live on Indian medical imports. American jobs matter more than cheap Indian drugs. Too much going to Russia, not fair to us!' The sudden tariff hike, targeting Indian pharmaceuticals, medical devices, and textiles, comes amid simmering friction between the two countries and has sent shockwaves through both the Indian diplomatic and business communities. India's Ministry of Commerce & Industry responded cautiously, saying it had 'taken note' of the US President's remarks and was 'studying their implications.' The ministry reaffirmed India's ongoing commitment to concluding a 'fair, balanced, and mutually beneficial' bilateral trade agreement with Washington. Indian business leaders, however, have not held back. Harsh Vardhan Agarwal, President of the Federation of Indian Chambers of Commerce and Industry (FICCI), called the tariff imposition 'disappointing,' warning it would dent export performance and undermine the hard-won trust between the two economies. 'This move is unfortunate and will undoubtedly impact our exporters,' Mr Agarwal said. 'We still believe the two countries can arrive at a comprehensive trade deal that benefits both sides.' Adding to New Delhi's discomfort is Trump's recent and controversial claim that he helped mediate a ceasefire during the latest flare-up on the borders, a statement India has neither confirmed nor directly rebutted. The ambiguity has invited criticism in India. What has made the situation more politically volatile is Prime Minister Modi's long-standing public embrace of Trump. Their joint appearances at 'Howdy Modi' in Houston and 'Namaste Trump' in Ahmedabad were projected as symbols of a thriving personal and strategic alliance. That narrative is now under scrutiny. With Trump turning publicly confrontational, India's opposition parties have pounced. They are demanding that Modi push back against Trump's remarks on the ceasefire and take a firmer line against the tariffs, accusing the government of compromising national dignity for diplomatic optics. Meanwhile, the Indian medical and pharmaceutical sectors, among the worst affected, have voiced strong objections. Dilip Kumar, Chairman of the Medical Tourism division at the Chamber of Commerce, told Indian media that Trump was attempting to 'kill the market of the Indian economy.' 'But that's not going to happen,' Mr Kumar said. 'The American market is dependent on Indian and Chinese suppliers. The real losers will be the US patients, not Indian exporters.' He added that India would now look to strengthen its trade relationships with Europe and other regions. 'We are resilient. We survive and bounce back - even in the toughest times.' For New Delhi, the challenge now is how to safeguard its economic interests without triggering an open confrontation, especially with a leader who rarely pulls his punches, even with friends.

Fast fashion faces a reckoning as tariff loophole closes

For years, fast fashion has thrived on a global supply chain built for speed, scale and, most crucially, exemptions. But with the stroke of a pen, the US has redrawn the rules. President Donald Trump's latest executive order, coming into effect on August 29, ends the de minimis tariff exemption for goods under 800 dollars, a loophole that enabled brands like Shein and Temu to ship low-cost clothing to American consumers free of import duties, reported the BBC. Once confined to China and Hong Kong, the policy now spans the globe, and with it, a new chapter begins for the business of ultra-cheap fashion. The de minimis threshold effectively allowed online retailers to bypass traditional tariffs, using volume and velocity to flood the US market with disposable apparel at prices domestic brands could never match. Now, with those same parcels facing the full weight of country-of-origin duties, the economics shift dramatically. The White House points to concerns over opioid trafficking and customs evasion, the BBC said, but the implications will be most acutely felt in fashion's lower rungs: the 5 dollar T-shirt, the 10 dollar dress, the two-week trend cycle that fuels an industry addicted to newness and price. For American consumers, who have grown used to restocking wardrobes at the click of a button, price hikes may be inevitable. For platforms built on razor-thin margins and cross-border arbitrage, operations could change dramatically. What happens next? Some brands may try to absorb costs or reroute supply chains; others will raise prices or perhaps rethink the model entirely. Hopefully, an ideological shift is underway: after decades of deregulated consumption, the end of the de minimis era is more than a policy change. It could be a signal that fast fashion's free pass may be over.
