The club’s fortunes have shifted noticeably this season.

Darragh MacAnthony’s move from infrequent oversight to more monitoring at Peterborough United matched the club’s upturn under manager Ron Rowett.

Previously, the team had struggled with poor form during periods of minimal involvement from MacAnthony.

Separate plans are in progress 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 rebuffed, highlighting squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters anticipate the increased ownership focus will maintain progress.
