The club’s fortunes have turned noticeably this season.

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

Previously, the team had struggled 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 erecting a bronze statue in his name.

Earlier, Peterborough attempted to sign an unnamed experienced international midfielder but were turned down, exposing squad weaknesses in a competitive league.

Supporters anticipate the heightened ownership focus will maintain progress.
