Leeds United are now selling Marcelo Bielsa blue buckets… but they will cost fans an astonishing £80
Club's Elland Road store stocks a version of the bucket - which Bielsa sits on instead of a seat in every game - complete with club crest
LEEDS have started cashing in on Marcelo Bielsa's peculiar bucket seat - by flogging them for £80 in the club store.
The Championship side's manager snubs an actual seat for a bucket in every game.
Now fans can copy the Argentinian manager's quirk by buying their own - but at a steep cost.
The blue bucket was shown on social media being sold in the club's Elland Road store.
It features the club crest and had pride of place on a display unit, with a 'new' sign next to it.
Local businesses had asked about sponsoring the 63-year-old former Marseille manager's perch but it has remained free of corporate logos.

The man hailed by Pep Guardiola as the "best coach in the world" picked up just 12 points from his first 13 games.
He was axed and a senior figure at the club later said hiring him was a mistake.
Things could not be more different at Leeds, though.
Bielsa has them playing attractive, entertaining football and they sit second in the table at the time of writing - with this four-year-old fan even doing a brilliant impression of him.
Leeds are next in action against Wigan in the 1.30pm kick-off on Sunday.
