    Tyson Fury’s dream £4million mansion plans knocked out again after bats drama

    WORLD boxing champ Tyson Fury’s £4million mansion plans have been floored again — this time by birds.The heavyweight king has been told that featherweight flappers flocking to ponds or fruit trees on his land may be a hazard to nearby jets.

    He has already given up on hopes of demolishing a house on the site after bats were found roosting in a loft.
    Instead, he hoped to extend the existing eight-bedroom home and install a basement music room, games area, breakfast and garden rooms and a cinema.
    But the safeguarding authority at nearby Manchester airport has told him birds could be attracted to the Cheshire site if planned cherry trees are planted or if there is any open water — including swimming pools.
    Only sterile or rarely-fruiting trees must be used, it said.

    In its planning consultation response, the authority gives its reasons as “flight safety” and “bird strike avoidance”.
    Birds being sucked into jets or hitting aircraft windscreens can cause major accidents.
    The experts said: “Robust measures are to be taken to prevent species of birds hazardous to aircraft being attracted to the site.”
    The WBC champ also cannot use exterior uplighting in case it distracts pilots.

    Fury and Paris currently live with their six children in a £1.7million home in ­Morecambe, Lancs.
    His move will take him closer to boxer brother Tommy and Love Island girlfriend Molly-Mae Hague, both 23, who have a £3.5million mansion nearby.

    He was sacked by ex-United team-mate David Beckham in June following a terrible start to the MLS campaign.
    Just a week after leaving the DRV PNK Stadium, Neville briefly accepted a job working with the Canadian national team alongside manager John Herdman.
    However, the former defender recently decided to return to the MLS and has since moved across the US to Portland.
    Following his arrival, Neville admitted that the city reminds him of his hometown.

    He said: “I have great memories visiting Portland, which reminds me of Manchester, my hometown, and I can’t wait for my family to get to know this beautiful city.”
    And while he is yet to find a permanent place to live in the area, he will likely go for something similar to his old home in the north of England.
    Cheshire mansion
    Before moving to the US, Neville sold his £5.25million Cheshire mansion.
    The six-bedroom property came with a swimming pool, gym, cinema, games room, mini indoor football pitch, underground car park and a steel-lined panic room.

    Inside Benjamin Mendy’s £5m mansion as he is forced to slash price as it languishes on the market

    BENJAMIN Mendy has slashed a whopping £750,000 off the asking price of his £5million mansion as he battles bankruptcy following his rape trial. The former Manchester City footballer, 29, must sell the sprawling Cheshire property to avoid financial ruin.

    As he chases up to £10m of back pay from his old club and while rebuilding his career at French Ligue 1 club Lorient, Mendy has now reduced the asking price to £4.25million.
    It comes as HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is seeking a bankruptcy order against the footballer over a nearly £800,000 tax debt. 
    The house is described by estate agents as “one of the finest contemporary homes in Cheshire”. 
    The 11,000sq-ft residence is set in over 1.75 acres of grounds and boasts six bedroom suites, an open plan living area, games room, home cinema, swimming pool, steam room, gym and spa.

    It was bought by Mendy from cricketing legend Andrew Flintoff in 2018 for £4.8million. 
    Flintoff, who never lived at the house, bought it for £1.8million in 2008 and spent two years rebuilding the property – before renting it out. 
    His tenants included former footballer Peter Crouch and wife Abbey Clancy. 
    The former Man City star was already a millionaire when he joined from Monaco in 2017 on a six-year contract.
    Most read in Football
    His deal guaranteed him a basic £100,000-a-week salary and up to £170,000 with bonuses.
    But instead of pocketing £31.2million, he ended up fighting bankruptcy after his 2020 arrest for rape.
    He was cleared of raping a woman following a retrial in July.
    Jurors unanimously cleared him of both charges after three hours of deliberation.
    But despite going free, he was forced to close his image rights company after being chased for unpaid tax.
    The footballer took a huge financial hit after being charged in 2021, with City stopping his salary the following month.

    The 23-year-old claims he was on the market for a house in Florida when the Argentinian legend swooped in and bought the mansion.
    Messi was on the lookout for a house in the area after signing for Inter Miami in the summer.
    Ross claimed he would now build his own home to rival the eight-time Ballon d’Or winner’s stunning pad.
    He said on a stream: “I got outbid with the house I wanted.

    “I really wanted a house in Miami so now I have to build my own house because it’s impossible to find a house that I like.

    “It’s nothing about me being broke. I just couldn’t get to there in time. I saw the house, but they were already in talks and all that.
    “The professional athlete is Messi. Messi’s parents, I think it was.

    “I believe it was his grandparents, or I don’t know who the f**k it was.

    Back in August, the ex-Barcelona star and his wife Antonela Roccuzzo were snapped house hunting in Miami.
    They eventually splashed £8.6million on an incredible waterfront property in Fort Lauderdale that has a pool, spa and boat docks.
    Messi already owns four apartments along Miami beach worth a combined £15m.
    It is unclear what house Ross was referring to.

    With those accolades has also come a vast sum of wealth.
    He is estimated to have a net worth of around £50million.
    However, following his fight against Dillian Whyte in April 2023, some estimates put that figure as high as £130m.
    Fury has put this wealth to good use, investing in a number of luxury assets.

    Cars are one of the main items Fury’s money has gone towards, with his garage featuring a pair of Rolls Royce, a Porsche Taycan and a Ferrari to name but a few.
    But chief among his assets are his houses.
    Fury is said to own a number of properties, including the £1.7m pad featured in his Netflix documentary At Home With The Furys and a Las Vegas home where he is said to have let his coach stay cost free.
    Below we will take a look at some of the stunning properties.

    £550k family home

    The home featured five bedrooms
    For years Fury and his family lived in a beautiful five-bed home in Morecambe.
    Tyson has remained adamant he would never uproot his home from Morecambe telling ITV doc Tyson Fury: The Gypsy King in 2020: “Why would I abandon my own country for a bit of money and some fame?
    “I love it… It’s true beauty. If the weather was better, every house here would be a million quid.”
    And considering the Fury’s former house, it’s clear to see why he would not want to leave.
    In 2021, the five-bed, four-bathroom Lancashire home of Fury that overlooked Morecambe Bay was estimated to be worth £550,000.
    Fury’s wife Paris often gave fans a sneak peek into their home
    The home was suitably decked out inside as well, as shown thanks to the snaps Fury’s wife Paris often shared to her social media pages.
    Oil paintings, large photos of Fury in action and a trophy cabinet were all present in the property.
    There were even gold curtains and a huge gold-framed Versace mirror.
    A walk in wardrobe was also a frequent sight on Paris’ stories, featuring designer handbags and glamorous outfits to rival the Kardashian’s of the world.

    True to his word, Fury snubbed a move elsewhere in order to remain by his beloved Morecambe.
    In December 2020, Fury brought a new seaside mansion which, according to Land Registry documents obtained by The Mirror, set Tyson Fury Ltd. back a cool £1,695,000, and is mortage-free.
    With seven children in tow – after welcoming their seventh in September 2023 – the new property gave the Furys a new lease of Morecambe life.
    Paris was given free reign on the interior design of the stunning property, which features gold chandeliers, marble-topped counters and a grand piano.
    The home featured heavily in the Netflix show At Home With The Furys, which offered fans a glimpse inside the chaotic and full-on life of Britian’s top heavyweight boxer.
    There is a castellated front wall and wrought-iron black and gold fence and CCTV warning signs for security as well as lion motifs and four eagle sculptures to keep up appearances.
    A water fountain can also be seen at the front of the property, while there is also a mini-playground with the “Gypsy King” logo painted on the floor outside.

    Fortunately, Paris has upgraded her walk-in wardrobe for her amazing shoe collection – estimated to be worth a cool £50,000.
    Speaking to loose women in 2020, Paris – who tied the knot with Fury in 2009 – explained the move came from them deciding to prioritise their children’s safety.
    She said: “We get people around the house. It’s not good, we actually have to because of that.
    “We’re in the process of moving house because we’ve had too many people at the door – too many strangers knocking.
    “And we have five children here, it’s not like me and Tyson’s here, two adults who can sort of deal with situations.
    “We have people coming to the house and the kids are opening the door and we don’t know who they’re opening the door to. It’s not what we need. It’s not the ideal situation.”

    But it hasn’t always been fancy digs for Fury, as once upon a time, he lived in a caravan on his father’s land.
    Fury was raised as a traveller and left school at 11, but never lost touch with his roots despite his fame and fortune.
    Indeed, dad John still retains that way of life as shown in the Netflix doc.
    On his ITV documentary, Fury was seen wheeling his wagon around outside his Morecambe home.
    Marbella home
    Fury is also said to own a stunning white-cobbled mansion in Marbella, Spain reportedly worth up to £6m.
    Pictures from 2018 have shown Fury in front of the property which features columns, large windows and an array of palm trees.
    After revealing the pad on his story he said: ““New house had to treat myself.
    “Been a long time coming. But the Mack in back [sic]. MTV Cribs blessed by God.”

    Sin City digs
    Fury’s property empire is not limited to this side of the Atlantic either.
    Over in Las Vegas, also known as Sin City, Fury is said to own a stunning mansion as well as one other property.
    Fury explained that he uses the pad when he fights in the United States, such as in his epic trilogy with Deontay Wilder.
    And his coach SugarHill Steward has been allowed to stay at the property rent free until he is called upon to help Fury with his fight preparation.

    Fury previously said ahead of his fight with Derek Chisora: “I have bought a big beautiful house out there and never really used it, one camp.

    Inside Wayne Rooney’s £20m ‘Morrisons mansion’ that boasts full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, cinema and pool

    WAYNE ROONEY is returning home to England and his family – and will be living in his £20million “Morrisons mansion” that has a full-size football pitch, two fishing lakes, cinema and a pool.The Manchester United and England legend has just been named as the new manager of Birmingham City and replaces the axed John Eustace at St Andrews.
    Wayne, Coleen and the rest of the Rooney family moved into their dream home in 2021Credit: Instagram
    Their £20m Cheshire home was dubbed the ‘Morrisons mansion’ during constructionCredit: BackGrid
    The house sits on a whopping 40 acres of land and has two fishing lakes, a cinema and pool
    Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the gated home
    He will be joined at Brum by Arsenal and Chelsea icon Ashley Cole and former United team-mate John O’Shea who will be working alongside him as coaches.
    Rooney left MLS side DC United at the weekend after they failed to make the play-offs.
    He had been living with his coaching staff in Washington while wife Coleen and their four sons, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass remained in England.
    However, after joining the Tom Brady-backed Blues he will be getting all the support he needs from his family as he returns home to join them full-time at their lavish Cheshire mansion.
    READ MORE ON SPORT
    Rooney, 37, and Coleen, also 37, boast a sizeable property portfolio, including homes in Florida, USA, the Caribbean and across the UK.
    But the jewel in the crown is their six-bedroom £20m palatial house which sits on a 40-acre piece of land.
    Built from scratch, the family moved in in December 2021.
    It is said to be located in Cheshire and is named High Lake Manor.
    Most read in Championship
    Rooney and his partner could even technically call themselves the lord and lady of the manor.
    We revealed back in its development how United’s all-time top scorer had a full-size football pitch installed at the property and it comes complete with a seating area.
    The five-a-side pitch even boasts changing rooms with showers for his mates – although he was blocked from installing floodlights because of his mansion’s rural location.
    He also boasts a garage for his collection of cars, a cinema, swimming pool, and even two man-made fishing lakes.
    Rooney is thought to be a keen angler.
    The house had been previously mocked for looking like a Morrisons supermarket by neighbours due to its size and architecture.
    But, unlike a Morrisons, it now boasts an orangery, bar, TV room, snooker room, cinema and wine cellar.
    And the luxury Rooney pad also has a huge indoor swimming pool surrounded by a glass pavilion, a hot tub, plunge pool, steam room and “his” and “hers” changing rooms.
    But that is not all – it boasts an extensive patio, landscaped gardens and a luxury car garage.
    Rooney is believed to have paid over £4m to a Cheshire property developer to build the mansion, which also has a guest toilet and separate lifts.
    That second lift also connects the main space to the basement floor, which sports a sprawling gym, pool, Jacuzzi and cinema room.
    The decision to build their dream pad came after raiders tried to break into Rooney’s Cheshire home in 2016 before cops pounced.

    The ex-striker grew up in a council house in Liverpool – but he has shown off his real estate skills with his sprawling Barbados villa, which he rents out for £25,000 a week.
    He snapped up a £320,000 waterfront apartment in the Sunshine State of Florida in 2007 and splashed out £450,000 on a detached home in Liverpool for his parents to live in.
    Now he and Coleen, who are believed to be worth around £115m, own properties across the globe after getting together aged 16.
    Rooney burst through the ranks at boyhood club Everton as a teenager and starred for England at Euro 2004 before a big-money move to Manchester United.
    Under Sir Alex Ferguson he went on to lift the Champions League and the Premier League title five times.
    Rooney surpassed Sir Bobby Charlton’s record for both United and England to become the record goalscorer for club and country – the latter now being overtaken by Harry Kane.
    He made an emotional return to Everton in 2017 and finished that season as their top scorer before moving to the MLS to sign for DC United.
    The then veteran bagged 23 goals in 48 matches for the American side but headed back to England to join Championship club Derby County in the 2020/21 season in a surprise move.

    Rooney then retired from playing to take over as manager when the Rams were rock bottom of the table.
    He guided them to safety but resigned at the end of the following campaign after Derby were relegated to League One following a huge points deduction and returned to become boss at DC United.
    Rooney was in charge for 52 games, racking up just 13 wins and 26 defeats, before his departure but will now be tasked with guiding Birmingham back to the big time under their new American owners.
    After being announced as manager, Rooney said: “I am absolutely delighted to be joining Birmingham City football club at such an exciting time.
    “It is very clear that they have a plan and are committed to realising their ambition for the club. We are fully aligned on what is expected.

    Shamed ex FA chief Luis Rubiales forced to sell his £1.2m home in the wake of ‘kiss-gate’ scandal and divorce battle

    EX-Spanish Football Association Chief Luis Rubiales has been forced to sell his luxury Madrid apartment in the wake of the “kiss-gate” scandal.The £1.2million mansion has been put on the market as Rubiales faces mounting legal bills after his non-consensual kiss with footballer Jenni Hermoso and an increase in alimony to his ex-wife and kids.

    The former FA chief already has to pay double alimony for his daughters after his ex-wife won a lawsuit against him, according to El Mundo.
    Rubiales separated from his wife in 2013, and now has to pay 800 euros per month for each of his three daughters – another financial blow.
    Hermoso filed an official criminal case against Rubiales earlier this month, as the disgraced FA chief continues to insist he is innocent of any wrongdoing.
    Now in a bid to secure funding for his legal fight, the ex-football boss has put his stunning duplex apartment in the exclusive neighbourhood of Rosales, in Madrid, up for sale.
    READ MORE IN FOOTBALL
    Rubiales bought the completely renovated property for £1.1million, but could make a profit of £100k by selling it £1.2million, according to Spanish newspaper La Vanguardia.
    Spread over two floors, the stunning property has two bedrooms with separate bathrooms, a private pool with access to shared gardens, a community pool, gastrobar, home cinema room and gym.
    The ground floor boasts a large living and dining room, two en-suite bedrooms, three bathrooms, fully equipped kitchen, an office, storage room and double garage.
    Finishing touches include a home automation system, underfloor heating and motorised blinds. 
    Most read in Football
    The property is located in a historic building that dates back to 1946 and was, coincidentally, the old Provincial Court of Madrid.
    It is situated in the heart of the capital, just a short walk away from the Plaza de España, and was designed by top architect firm Touza Arquitectos.
    Rubiales put the property up for sale after Hermoso, 33, claimed she “felt vulnerable and the victim of aggression” after the kiss.
    Footage appeared to show Rubiales planting a kiss on the player after Spain triumphed over England at the Women’s World Cup final last month.
    Rubiales initially refused to resign and blamed “false feminism” for his “social assassination”.
    Only days ago, the ex-footy chief was hit with another blow as he was given a restraining order which bans him from contacting Jenni Hermoso or going near her.
    Spain’s former FA president was banned from coming within 200 meters of Hermoso or trying to communicate with her.
    It comes after Hermoso alleged she and her relatives were put under pressure by Rubiales and his entourage to say that she approved what happened.
