The club’s fortunes have shifted noticeably in recent weeks.

Darragh MacAnthony’s move from limited 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 low involvement from MacAnthony.

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

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

Supporters hope the heightened ownership focus will propel progress.
