Having had a good look through the Beeb sport website, peterbrough seem to be making lot of players just promoted from league 2 stay down in league two with Peterborough.
Examples this eason alone include....

Darren Keates - Walsall top scorer last season, and bloody captain!
Chris Westwood - Main stay of the central defence for the Saddlers.
Chris Welpdale - turned down Southend for Peterborough

theyre now after Steve Elliot of Rovers too!

So can anyone help me figure out what makes Peterborough so attractive? These players would rather play Morecambe away than Leeds & Forrest?!? All for the sake of what i can only see is a few extra £££ cant people see that Peterborough despite lashing out the dosh all the time cant seem to go anywhere!

It's not Fry's cash.

It's some Irish millionaire.

The Oirish chap got interested after the Big Ron program which coincidentally won some award at the TV broadcasting awards - I didn't see the program but surely it didn't deserve to win anything?

It'll all end in tears. You shouldn't be placing that much responsibility in a young managers hands with no coaching, let alone managerial experience.

So he's Fergie's son. Would Man Utd play Callum Best up front?

They've invested really well in the past 10 months in a lot of talented players from the league and conference.  The only scepticism is the manager and bringing in to many players at once.

Think they’ll be in the shaker come the end of the season without a doubt.

My mate supports Peterborough and he thinks they will be in the Championship after back to back promotiions.

Darrah Mcantony is their chairman and his 'company' has sponsered them 3 million quid, they have lined up pre-season games against Liverpool, Celtic and Man U also which will bring in revenue as well.

The guy is loaded and they are a club going forward.

The Irish millionaire is apparently in timeshare, and he's also got his own website :
