A few get angered by McAnthony, but the one thing the bloke has is passion and enthusiasm. He’s fully committed to the project he’s invested in.

He’s reached a bit of a dead end at Peterborough for various reasons but despite being based in the US you never stop hearing from him - he’s adopted a completely different approach to distant ownership from Stefan.

Fans need to see interest and passion from the owner. Lawn had his knockers for being a loud mouth but he was fully committed and you knew he was here. Even when we fell short, fans had sympathy as we could see he’s done all he could with the resources at his disposal. In the end that meant selling up was the logical step.

Let’s hope his podcast co-host Philip keeps on in his ear and makes it happen!!

He has always spoke favourably about our club and can see the potential. I have absolutely no doubt he’d take this club back into the Championship. He calls a spade a spade and really wouldn’t tolerate mediocrity and passiveness.

 

The groundwork he's put in at Posh will reap dividends very shortly. He's got a hefty sell-on clause for Ivan Toney, which could net £10-20M, and his team is packed with players who will sell for multi-millions—Ronnie Edwards being one. 2nd bottom of League 2 when he joined, and they didn't own the ground. They are light years ahead of us.

 

I don't think he's all that he's made out to be.
The Posh are a league one club. Okay they've had brief stints in the Championship but haven't managed to get established there.
The ground isn't great either and hasn't changed much in the last 30 years. I know there's plans to move to a new ground but that's been on the cards for a bit.
Okay, he's a good wheeler dealer in the transfer market and he's passionate about football and the Posh but I don't think they've pulled up many trees.
And yes, I know Posh are in a higher league etc etc but I still don't see why some people on here rate him so highly.
If he'd done a Brentford, a Brighton or a Bournemouth then I'd be a bit more impressed.

 

Must be nice to win something

 

Nah, winning sounds expensive - we are sh1t and cheap ... erm ... sorry, sustainable!

 

He's clearly a fan and belives we shoud be doing a lot better.

 

Yep. Playing football the right way and recruiting players to continually develop and sell, despite umpteen managerial changes, the club’s strategy has remained consistent and the plan been clear

 

When it's not based on IF he gets an offer, there might be something in it.

 

And they sold him to Coventry in January for over £5m, loaned him back for the rest of the season. Barnet bagged over £1m from that transfer as part of their sell on but they'll be loving life when Ronnie Edwards is sold as Barnet have a 50% sell on fee. If he goes in the summer and Barnet come up through the play offs, they'll have a HUGE kitty to spend.

 

But the £250k bonus payment quotes is more than the £100k prize for winning the final

 

And he’s right

 

Can't fault what he's done with what was really a club with no real football league history other than making the numbers up.

 

We spoke about Ivan Toney many times during his loan spells and wondered why no one gave him a chance, Posh backed their judgement and the lad went on to prove he can score at all levels given the right service, good luck to Posh.

 

seems a lot of bonuses to offer players for a cup that doesn’t pay out that much prize money

 

really ?

 

Yes it's what comes from being a big club languishing where they currently belong in lower mid table L2!!!
