PREMIER LEAGUE legends Frank Lampard, John Terry and Paul Ince are all in contention for the vacant role at Championship side Stoke City.

That’s according to bookmakers Coral, who have named the top 10 most likely candidates to replace Steven Schumacher, who was sacked earlier today.

Schumacher left Plymouth last December to take the Potters’ role but his nine-month tenure came to an end following Saturday’s 1-0 defeat to Oxford United.

That was already Stoke’s third league defeat in just five games, leaving them down in 13th place after the weekend’s action.

Former skipper Ryan Shawcross has been placed in a caretaker role alongside Alex Morris.

Sporting director Jon Walters said the decision to axe Schumacher was in the ‘long term interests’ of the club.

His attention now turns to finding a suitable successor and some huge names are believed to be in contention.

Stoke City next manager odds

It’s Stockport County’s boss Dave Challinor who leads the betting with Coral.

He’s the current 2/1 market leader having led Stockport to two promotions in three years, coming from the National League to League One where they currently sit fourth.

Tony Mowbray revealed over the weekend he’s eyeing a return to management following a health battle, after he was forced to step down from Birmingham as a result.

He admitted he was still a little ‘weak’ as his recuperation continues so this might come a little too early for him.

Ruben Selles (4/1) and Ryan Lowe (5/1) appear more likely to be in contention, just ahead of Valerian Ismael at 6/1.

Ex-Rangers and Sunderland manager Michael Beale remains on the lookout for his way back in and he’s a 7/1 shot with the bookies.

Then there’s some HUGE names, with Paul Ince an 8/1 shot having been out of a job in management since his sacking from Reading just shy of 18 months ago.

Then it’s Frank Lampard (12/1) who was last in charge at Chelsea on an interim basis at the end of 2022/23 – ending with a 9% win record.

Former Blues hero John Terry returned to the club last year as part of the Academy set-up and he’s 14/1 to go it alone and have Stoke as his first job in charge.

Mick McCarthy rounds off the betting at 16/1.

A HUSBAND came under fire after sharing the DIY vanity table he made for his wife.

He explained that he was surprising her with the item but people pointed out the costly mistake he made.

tiktok/@the_hayeks/

In his viral video, the husband of Yulia Hayek (@the_hayeks) demonstrated the DIY process for his followers.

“Point of view: You are surprising your wife with a handmade vanity table,” he wrote in the clip.

The TikToker began by emptying his wife’s make-up bag onto a circular tray.

He arranged all of her everyday products, all of which were still full, on the plastic material.

The beauty product haul included items from high-end brands such as YSL and Dior.

Once he had placed all the cosmetics face up, he mixed Crystal Clear Epoxy Resin A and B and poured it over the tray.

He continued to fill the tray until all the products were entirely covered.

In a second clip, the TikToker showed his audience an update of the homemade vanity table.

However, the resin hadn’t dried properly, causing the products to stick out the top.

Since this meant the surface of the table would be uneven, the couple scrapped the project.

Yulia explained that she liked the idea so much that they planned to replicate the DIY project.

TikTok users shared their thoughts on the vanity table in the comments section.

“WHAT have you DONE?” asked one shocked viewer.

“Sir, I need confirmation that the compacts were empty pleaseeeee,” said another follower.

“That’s cute but she’s going to get mad about all her expensive products being stuck,” pointed out a third person.

“She’s gonna surprise your with divorce papers,” joked another commenter.

“Do you hate your wife?” asked one TikTok user.

“Legend says bro is in a coma,” wrote another follower.

“Products cost more than it did to make the table,” pointed out one viewer.

“I just clutched my pearls in horror,” said another person.

DOCTORS should be prescribing masturbation to women in menopause, scientists say.

More than a third of women (36 per cent) reported having improved symptoms through solo sex, their research found.

The Kinsey Institute at Indiana University surveyed 1,500 American women aged 40 to 65 years old.

These are the typical years a woman will go through perimenopause before reaching menopause (a year with no period).

Dr Cynthia Graham, Senior Scientist at the Kinsey Institute, says: “This survey shows self-pleasure offers an effective, accessible tool for menopausal symptom relief, which is important to integrate with existing care strategies.”

The research was conducted in partnership with sexual wellbeing company the Lovehoney Group, which recently launched an online AI tool which gives personalised advice to sex and wellbeing questions.

“There’s no reason masturbation should remain a secret in menopause care,” says Verena Singmann, Lovehoney Group’s Head of Pleasure Advocacy. 

“Women have the right to know all of their options when it comes to managing the challenges of menopause, and we’re here to break the silence around masturbation as an empowering and effective choice.” 

Only one in 10 women said they currently use self-pleasure as a primary symptom management tool. 

But nearly half (46 per cent) of women surveyed indicated they would be open to trying masturbation for symptom relief if recommended by their doctor. 

The benefits of masturbation are not something GPs are likely to discuss with their patients. 

Some 44 per cent of respondents reported ever discussing menopause with their doctor in the US.

Among these women, five per cent said their provider suggested masturbation as a ‘possible symptom management strategy’.  

White women had a better understanding of menopause than other ethnic groups, the survey found.

When asked six questions, 55 per cent of white women had correct answers followed by Asian women (42 per cent), Hispanic women (37 per cent) and Black women (35 per cent). 

Dr Shamyra Howard, a sex therapist, commented: “This is an opportunity to destigmatise menopause and masturbation for all women, particularly women of color who are disproportionately affected by the Gender Health Gap and the lack of menopause education.

“The more women learn about this tool, the more empowered they’ll be to take control of their sexual health and overall well-being.” 

Common symptoms that occur during menopausal years include hot flushes, mood changes, night sweats, vaginal dryness and discomfort and brain fog.

Other symptoms – from a long list of more than 50 – include weight gain, sleep problems, anxiety and low libido.

Another survey by the same team – of 1,500 American adults aged 18-88 – found some gaps in symptom awareness.

Only 13 per cent identified concentration or memory difficulties as a menopause symptom, 14.1 per cent bladder issues or incontinence and 27.9 per cent sleep changes.

Even for the most recognised symptom, hot flushes, fewer than two-thirds (59.4 per cent) of respondents identified this as a symptom.
