GARY O’NEIL tops Sheffield United’s wanted list as they look into a change of boss.

Wilder, 57, is going to have to handle the new American owners giving him players based on AI data — as we revealed.
The experienced gaffer wants a handful of his own targets — but if they do not happen, there will be trouble ahead.
Wilder wants experienced players like free agent Jimmy Dunne and old boy Oli McBurnie, while Chris Mepham is another possible arrival.
But the new advisers are working on a deal for a mystery Bulgarian right-back, which could spark a major row.
Wilder signed a new deal in January and the compensation would be huge, a problem that may stretch the new owners’ finances.
But O’Neil is in line to get the SOS call, although he is also a potential target for other jobs.
O’Neil, 42, was not in the market for work after his Wolves exit but is now prepared to take the right job.
Former Hull boss Ruben Selles is another live candidate.

SHOPPERS are in a frenzy over a supermarket dupe of Jaffa Cakes, after branding the original Mcvitie’s cakes “dry”.
Jaffa Cakes are one of the nation’s favourite sweet treats, with Brits across the country choosing to dunk them in their afternoon cup of tea.

Snack fans are choosing the more budget friendly Aldi Jaffa Cakes insteadFacebook/ExtremeCouponingAndBargainsUK
However, some snack fans have become disappointed with the “dry” texture of McVitie’s Jaffa Cakes, choosing to switch to cheap knock offs instead.
Posting to Reddit, one biscuit lover shared that she recently treated herself to a packet of the Mcvitie’s branded snack, hoping they would taste as delicious and spongy as she remembered them growing up.
However, after sinking her teeth into the orange flavoured dessert, she was left extremely disappointed.
“They’re dry af. That ‘spongy’ bit? It’s not the same spongy bit I remember growing up.
“It’s like drywall. I had three, just to make sure I wasn’t going crazy, and they were all the same.”
The disappointed woman then revealed she dished the remaining cakes out to her friends, who confirmed that the snacks did not taste as good as they used to.
“Has something changed?” she asked.
“Have false memories allowed me to remember an absolutely supreme experience whilst munching on these delights?
“Or have they just decided to change the whole recipe to save a few quid?”
The post was flooded with comments with social media users, who suggested alternative Jaffa Cake brands the snack fan should try, and many said the same thing.
One person said: “Off-brand Jaffa cakes have been superior for a few years now. Aldi ones are pretty good.”
A second person said: “Aldi cherry bakewell ones are sublime.”
A third person said: “The Aldi ones are far superior now.
“Succulent, citrusy and generously jellied.”
A fourth added: “Buy the Lidl and Aldi own brands.
“They taste better, have more filling and they’re about half the price.”
Aldi’s own brand Jaffa Cakes come in a variety of different flavours including cherry bakewell and passion fruit flavour for just 99p.
Shoppers can also snap up Aldi original flavour Jaffa Cakes for £1.25 for 300g, much cheaper than the Mcvitie’s version which are on sale at Aldi for £2.75 for 330g.
M&S also sells its own version of Jaffa Cakes for £2.10, whilst Tesco‘s own brand offering is priced at £2.

Blonde beauty and cabin crew Helena, 29, is hoping to find the perfect match on Love Island 2025.
Helena and hunky semi-pro footballer Harry Cooksley, 30, spent the night together in the hidden suite on Monday.
At the time, a source told The Sun: “This is the fastest sleepover in the Hideaway in Love Island’s twelve series history – and what a gorgeous pair to do so.
“In the past, producers had to invite Islanders to use the breakout bedroom which meant the love nest was generally not used until couples became more established.
“But producers have changed the rules of the breakout bedroom so it can be used at any time, without an invite.
“It means Helena and Harry could take advantage of the ‘no invite needed’ and explore their connection.”

He also shot Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette multiple times at their home in Champlin just hours beforehand, leaving them seriously injured.
Hoffman and his wife have both undergone surgery at the Mercy Hospital in Coon Rapids and are said to be in a stable condition.
As cops launch an extensive manhunt for the gunman, sources close to the situation, speaking on the condition of anonymity, have said 57-year-old Vance Luther Boelter is wanted in connection to the shootings, per AP.
Boelter is a former appointee of Minnesota Governor Tim Walz, per the Post.
Documents obtained by the outlet show that he was appointed by Walz in 2019 to serve on his Workforce Development Board for four years.
In 2016 he was on the Workforce Development Council under the previous Governor Mark Dayton.
He is listed as living in Green Isle, Minnesota.
The gunman posed as a police officer to gain entry to the lawmakers’ homes, cops revealed.
Walz led a press conference earlier on Saturday to confirm the deaths of Hortman and her husband Mark in what he called a “politically motivated assassination”.
“This was an act of targeted political violence,” Walz said.
“Those responsible for this will be held accountable and each and every one of us are committed to making sure a tragedy like this never repeats itself,” he added.

The Governor has not publicly commented on the reports that his former appointee is a suspect in the ongoing investigation.
Cops were called to their residence around 3:35 am, less than three hours after the shooting at the Hoffmans’ home.
Hortman and her husband were pronounced dead at the scene where officers exchanged fire with the suspect who managed to flee on foot.

Governor Tim Walz full statement
Today Minnesota lost a great leader, and I lost a friend.
A formidable public servant and a fixture of the state Capitol, Melissa Hortman woke up every day determined to make our state a better place.
She served the people of Minnesota with grace, compassion, and tirelessness.
Minnesota’s thoughts are with her loved ones, and my prayers are with Senator John Hoffman and his wife Yvette, who were shot and wounded and are being treated.
We are not a country that settles our differences at gunpoint.
We have demonstrated again and again in our state that it is possible to peacefully disagree, that our state is strengthened by civil public debate.
We must stand united against all forms of violence – and I call on everyone to join me in that commitment.
To the responding officers, thank you for your bravery and your swift action.
A state Bureau of Criminal Apprehension investigation is underway, and we will spare no resource in bringing those responsible to justice.

THE Edmonton Oilers tied up their tense Stanley Cup finals match-up with the Florida Panthers – and have been urged to bring back their ‘good luck charm.’
Kait Flynn went viral for flashing her boobs at a gameFlynn flashed her chest in front of the crowd and the millions who saw across the internetThe viral moment landed her a deal with PlayboyNHL boob flasher Flynn enjoyed her newfound fame after going viral before going back to work
The Oilers fan was spotted celebrating in the stands throughout the game before flashing her chest by lifting her team shirt.
Then she began to shake her chest from side-to-side, before dropping her top and turning to face the camera in amusement.
Kait caught some flack for her the display that went viral but she told the Spittin’ Chiclets podcast: “We were all going crazy. It wasn’t planned or anything – it just kind of happened.”
She would follow up her newfound fame with a signed deal with Playboy, who announced her as the “Oilers good luck charm.”
Though not spotted at last season’s Final as the Panthers would edge past their Canadian rivals to claim their first ever Holy Grail, the 35-year-old has been urged to appear in this year’s edition.
The Edmonton club are aiming to end a 32-year Cup drought after coming back in Game 4 overtime to level up proceedings.
Fans joked they need her good luck again with Barstool Sports sharing a picture of Kait projected in the sky in the way Batman is summoned.
The caption read: “Only one person can save the Oilers.”
One said: “They need here more than ever bros.”
A second said: “You know it!”
Another added: “Definitely can’t hurt.”
Two of the Oilers’ next three games will be played at home – maybe she might make a special appearance as the city of Edmonton continues to be enthralled by the Finals.
