Hide AdSocik had worked for MacAnthony with a brief to identify gifted young players using his analytic models.
The arrangement came to an end well before the start of the current season.
MacAnthony also employed Ben Davy as a scout and he took over as National League Woking FC’s Head of Recruitment earlier this year.
Davy had been watching non-league players on behalf of Posh.
“It pays to have me on your CV,” MacAnthony joked.
“Good luck to them both.”
