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

Darragh MacAnthony’s move from limited oversight to greater monitoring at Peterborough United coincided with 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 under way to honour former player Tommy Robson, who led 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 rejected, revealing squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters expect the greater ownership focus will propel progress.
