      I’m furious after a bank painted a mural of England star on my house…business is profiting but they didn’t even ask me

      by

      A LANDLORD is furious after a bank painted a giant mural featuring Marcus Rashford on the side of his house without asking.Natwest commissioned an artist to paint the advert featuring Man Utd star Marcus Rashford on the side of a building in Brighton to advertise its latest financial skills scheme for young people.

      Peter Brynin says they had no permission to paint his property
      But Peter Brynin said he was shocked to discover the artwork on the side of his property.
      The front door to his home, which he rents out to students, is on Trafalgar Lane in Brighton, famed for being covered in graffiti from a number of local artists.
      He said: “Obviously I was taken quite aback.
      “I can’t go up to their bank in Westminster and paint a logo of my business on the side. It would be criminal damage.
      “I am fine with graffiti and murals, but what I don’t want to see it being used for is an advertising space.”
      Peter owns the section of the wall where the QR code, information sign and Natwest logo is painted.
      “It is an art wall. It’s known for that. I have no objection to Rashford, I have no objection to the art, but I do object to an advert where I haven’t been contacted at all.”
      Natwest said the space was purchased in good faith for the campaign and they were unaware the wall did not entirely belong to just one owner.

      The bank commissioned Brighton artist Rose Walker to design an advert for the space, which depicted Manchester United footballer and philanthropist Marcus Rashford both as a child and now with the caption: “Believe it, Become it.”
      The landlord added: “My back wall is now an advert for Natwest. You’d think they would have had the decency to go ‘Oh, hang on a minute’.”
      Peter, 75, fears the advert will also attract antisocial behaviour such as graffiti to his back door.
      He has already had to repaint it since the advert was painted.
      “Especially after all the fury about the politicians, people have ruined my front door,” he said.
      It is understood Natwest has apologised and has reached a resolution with Peter.
      A source close to Natwest said the artist was unaware that part of the wall had different ownership.
      A spokesperson said: “The space was purchased in good faith for the campaign to showcase a fantastic piece of work from a local artist.
      “Unfortunately, the media owner was unaware that part of the wall had changed ownership since the space had last been used.

      “Obviously, we were keen to make this right and the media owner contacted the property owner immediately to come to a resolution they were happy with.
      “We’re pleased to confirm the mural will remain until August 20 as planned.” More

      But a wealthy buyer has already snapped up the swanky property in a swish Melbourne suburb.
      Postecoglou, 57, had kept the keys to the massive mansion during his spell in Glasgow but it emerged he was offloading it three weeks ago.
      Down Under estate agents Kay and Burton have now listed the property as sold on their website but no further details have been released.
      The pad boasts access to an indoor swimming pool and spa as well as a powder room, interior courtyard and outdoor eating areas.

      It also has an upstairs study, two large en-suite bedrooms and a walk-in wardrobe which all open out onto a stunning wraparound balcony overlooking the garden’s pond.
      Kay and Burton said: “Unparalleled in luxury and quality, this opulent villa also features a powder room, laundry, ducted heating and cooling, security alarm, secure video intercom, double garage and access to Villaggio’s indoor swimming pool, spa and gym.
      “Nestled amidst established gardens by renowned landscape designer Paul Bangay, the magnificent two-storey residence benefits from its own street frontage and has been architect-designed to create the feel of a Tuscan villa while also maximising light, style and resort-style tranquillity.
      “Stepping into the home through the ornate loggia, the soaring ceilings, gorgeous American Oak parquetry flooring and sandstone features hint at the meticulous attention to detail and refined European interiors within.”

      Postecoglou has agreed a four-year deal with north London side Tottenham Hotspur.
      The gruff gaffer shattered Hoops’ fans hopes he would stay in Glasgow despite winning a domestic treble.
      Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said: “Ange brings a positive mentality and a fast, attacking style of play.
      “He has a strong track record of developing players and an understanding of the importance of the link from the academy – everything that is important to our club.
      “We are excited to have Ange join us as we prepare for the season ahead.”
      He has also targeted Celtic No2 John Kennedy for his move and has been linked with a £20m bid for Kyogo Furuhashi.

      Since then, a host of his colleagues including s Alan Shearer and Ian Wright revealed they were refusing to star on the sporting show.
      This prompted similar reactions from the BBC Football Focus team, which is today being scrapped – and replaced with fan-favourite series Bargain Hunt.
      The former England star’s home life came under the spotlight back in 2020 when he invited a refugee to live in one of the five bedrooms of his mansion.
      Yet his Instagram page gives a glimpse into the cozy pad, adorned with trendy touches.

      One image sees Gary preparing for a Zoom call while perched on a turquoise-coloured sofa, accentuated with mustard-shade cushions.
      Behind him a piece of modern art sits on the wall, featuring speckles of gold, grey and blue and positioned next to a gold lamp.
      In another room adorned with football shirts on the wall, Gary’s rescue dog Filbert – who he welcomed into the fold last year – can be seen fast asleep on a red sofa.
      Meanwhile, in a separate living space, a similar piece of brush-stroke art painted on canvas fills the wall.

      It sits above a chic white marble cabinet, with coffee table books seen perched on the side.
      Another space – which the pundit appears to use for family gathering – has a classic touch with exposed wooden floorboards.
      There’s a red and white rug thrown over the floor while a huge glass light fitting adds a modern edge.
      The walls are painted a fresh green which allows the room to flow easily through the patio door to the garden outside.
      Gary is often seen celebrating his son’s birthday’s in the space, as well as playing host to his pals in his garden, which boasts a wooden dining table.
      Meanwhile, Gary, who has fronted MOTD since 1999, has been suspended from his presenting duties after previously saying he would face no disciplinary action.
      A BBC statement said: “The BBC has been in extensive discussions with Gary and his team in recent days. We have said that we consider his recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines.
      “The BBC has decided that he will step back from presenting Match of the Day until we’ve got an agreed and clear position on his use of social media.
      “When it comes to leading our football and sports coverage, Gary is second to none.
      “We have never said that Gary should be an opinion free zone, or that he can’t have a view on issues that matter to him, but we have said that he should keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies.”
      A spokesperson added that the Beeb considered Gary’s “recent social media activity to be a breach of our guidelines” and that he should “keep well away from taking sides on party political issues or political controversies”.
      The row ignited after Gary tweeted in reference to the Government’s new immigration bill, saying: “Good heavens, this is beyond awful.”

      Responding to another user who described him as “out of order”, he added: “We take far fewer refugees than other major European countries.
      “This is just an immeasurably cruel policy directed at the most vulnerable people in language that is not dissimilar to that used by Germany in the ’30s, and I’m out of order?”
