STATEMENT FROM THE EXECUTIVE CHAIRMAN
Fri Jan 05 2024 , (Last Updated: Fri Jan 05 2024) [Club News]
Our ownership group has stewarded Dagenham & Redbridge FC for almost six years now, starting back in 2018 and believe we have accomplished a great deal in this time for the club.
We completed a significant construction and renovation project of Chigwell Construction Stadium including the installation of all new seats, a new team store, new boardroom, new exterior cladding and signage, renovated dressing room and a new videoboard to name just a few.
We also struck a partnership with West Ham United Women which enabled us to entirely rebuild the pitch with a state of the art irrigation system, giving us one of the best playing surfaces in all of England.
We have given back within the community in countless ways during our tenure at the club, impacting individual lives which will always remain our most proud accomplishment, especially during trying times having carried the club through a global pandemic both emotionally and financially. As an ownership group, I believe we can hold our head high that we have done things the right way off the pitch for you, the Daggers fans, while having a great deal of fun along the way.
With that said, football is a humbling game and I have proven not to be the individual to move this club forward toward promotion, despite investing heavily in our roster and caring mightily about wins and losses. On this front, with my deepest sincerity, I feel I have failed you, the supporters and for that I will forever be filled with a great deal of regret.
Therefore, effective immediately, I have decided to look for new investors to join the club and I will make plans to step aside to allow a new individual or group to take the Daggers and the club’s amazing legacy forward. With new leadership, focus and commitment, I hope that the team can once again return to the Football League where it belongs and continue to thrive well into the future.
I will always have a special place in my heart for all of the Daggers supporters I have come to know and admire, for Steve Thompson who bleeds red and blue, and for the club itself which will always be bigger than the person who takes on my leadership role in the future.
For life, COYD!
Sincerely,
Peter B. Freund
Executive Chairman
