The club’s fortunes have shifted noticeably this season.

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

Previously, the team had struggled with poor form during periods of reduced involvement from MacAnthony.

Separate plans are in progress 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 turned down, revealing squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters hope the increased ownership focus will maintain progress.
