The club’s fortunes have turned noticeably recently.

Darragh MacAnthony’s move from sporadic oversight to greater monitoring at Peterborough United mirrored the club’s upturn under manager Ron Rowett.

Previously, the team had floundered with poor form during periods of low involvement from MacAnthony.

Separate plans are under way to honour former player Tommy Robson, who initiated fundraising for the club’s community projects, by erecting a bronze statue in his name.

Earlier, Peterborough attempted to sign an unnamed experienced international midfielder but were rebuffed, highlighting squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters anticipate the greater ownership focus will maintain progress.
