US investors buy minority Peterborough stake

US businessmen Gary Graham and Greg Barr have bought minority stakes in League One club Peterborough United.

Graham is chief executive of manufacturing, distribution and real estate company Lionshead Industries, while Barr is the founder of a private equity firm, Silver Oak Partners.

Both have joined the Peterborough board, which is still chaired by owner Darragh MacAnthony, and are the first new investors since Iain Crawford bought a 5% stake two years ago.

A club statement said, external both had attended "multiple matches" in recent seasons, including Peterborough's EFL Trophy final wins at Wembley in 2024 and 2025.

"Our objective, in addition to providing financial support, is to offer expertise in finance, marketing and strategic development to support the future success of the Posh," the pair said.

Chief executive Dawn Gore added: "Their passion for football, combined with their business backgrounds, will bring real value to Peterborough United and I look forward to working with them and drawing on their expertise."

Having been bottom of League One earlier this season, Posh are now 12th, five points clear of the relegation zone and seven away from the play-off places, under boss Luke Williams - who was appointed in October.

Their next two games are both at home - against Bolton Wanderers on Saturday and Plymouth Argyle a week later.
