The club’s fortunes have changed noticeably recently.

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

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

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

Earlier, Peterborough sought to sign an unnamed experienced international midfielder but were rejected, revealing squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters expect the heightened ownership focus will propel progress.
