Former England striker Andy Carroll has revealed the extent of his daily communications with YouTube star KSI as the two co-owners plot a miraculous rise for Dagenham & Redbridge. With the club currently in the sixth tier, the high-profile duo are working tirelessly behind the scenes to emulate Wrexham's success and ultimately bring Premier League football to East London.
Andy Carroll has started his Dagenham and Redbridge managerial career with a 1-0 victory over Torquay United on Saturday. Minority owner and YouTuber KSI was in the stands as the Daggers took three vital points, and Carroll, the former England striker, celebrated post-match with his family.
The "KSI era" at Dagenham & Redbridge has begun with a major clinical overhaul, as the National League South club confirmed the departure of manager Lee Bradbury. The decision comes just a fortnight after the high-profile YouTuber-turned-media personality was unveiled as a minority shareholder. In a sensational twist, former Liverpool and England striker Andy Carroll has been handed the reins on an interim basis.
Dagenham & Redbridge are officially "daring to dream" following the high-profile arrival of YouTube sensation and entrepreneur KSI as a major shareholder. The social media icon, whose real name is Olajide Olatunji, was unveiled as a key investor in the National League South side last week, marking a significant shift in the club's profile and ambitions as they look to climb back up the English football pyramid.
YouTube sensation KSI marked a surreal transition into football club ownership on Saturday as he watched Dagenham & Redbridge overcome National League South leaders Dorking Wanderers 1-0. In what served as a high-profile introduction to Victoria Road, the 32-year-old was spotted in the stands alongside a former England international striker.
KSI has, following his stunning move into football ownership, confirmed that Dagenham & Redbridge will be delivering a ‘Race To The Top’ documentary. Said production will initially be released on the social media star’s YouTube channel, allowing it to reach 17 million subscribers worldwide. The show will become a rival to the popular ‘Welcome to Wrexham’ series overseen by Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac in North Wales.
