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

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

Previously, the team had slipped 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 commissioning a bronze statue in his name.

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

Supporters expect the greater ownership focus will maintain progress.
