The 2021-22 campaign proved a difficult, turbulent return to the Championship for Peterborough United, culminating in a crushing 22nd-place finish and immediate relegation back to League One. The season was defined by a desperate struggle for form, which saw the emotional mid-season departure of manager Darren Ferguson. Amidst the chaos, talismanic striker Jonson Clarke-Harris valiantly carried the attack, his 12 league goals proving a crucial, yet ultimately insufficient, haul. The only true respite from the league anxiety came in the FA Cup, where The Posh battled their way to the Fifth Round, providing a brief, nostalgic moment of glory before falling to Manchester City, cementing a painful but unforgettable chapter in the club’s modern history.
