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

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 spearheaded fundraising for the club’s community projects, by installing a bronze statue in his name.

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

Supporters hope the heightened ownership focus will propel progress.
