The club’s fortunes have changed noticeably recently.

Darragh MacAnthony’s move from infrequent oversight to heightened 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 led fundraising for the club’s community projects, by installing a bronze statue in his name.

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

Supporters anticipate the greater ownership focus will maintain progress.
