Supporters are desperate for the experienced Argentine to stay after an impressive first season in charge.
The campaign ultimately ended in disappointment, as the Whites failed to clinch automatic promotion and were then knocked out of the play-offs, but Bielsa’s exciting brand of football has reinvigorated the club and there is a feeling their 15-year Premier League exile could soon be over.
