The club’s fortunes have shifted 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 slipped with poor form during periods of low involvement from MacAnthony.

Separate plans are under way to honour former player Tommy Robson, who led 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 turned down, highlighting squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters anticipate the heightened ownership focus will propel progress.
