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

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 slipped 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 erecting a bronze statue in his name.

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

Supporters hope the greater ownership focus will propel progress.
