In March, acquired a minority stake in Dagenham & Redbridge and made clear his ambition of taking the club to the Premier League.
Former manager Lee Bradbury was sacked shortly after, sparking rumours that himself might assume managerial duties.

Visitors Dagenham opened the scoring against league leaders Worthing through Kien Connolly.
But they were quickly pegged back after rapid fire goals from Jack Spong and Wiktor Makowski.
Things got from bad to worse for the Daggers, who were already trailing 5-2 after 81 minutes, when Stan Leech was sent off five minutes from time.
Their goalkeeper Sam Howes was also forced off injured after all five substitutes were used, meaning left-back Harvey Broad had to step in as a makeshift goalie.
The result meant Dagenham, who are 12th in the 24-team league, will miss out on the promotion play-offs.
In July, former and striker Carroll signed for Dagenham on a three-year contract and later became a minority shareholder of the club.
He said: “It doesn’t matter the level, or anything, as long as I get on the pitch and play , that’s all that matters.”

He told Sport: “I’d like to do my own journey. I want to do things my way and I was born and bred through social media.
“I feel like my expertise in social media will help Dagenham & Redbridge be a worldwide club.
“I’m not focusing on just , I’m focusing on the world. I want the world to know about the Daggers.”
