Jesse Marsch admits Leeds can no longer challenge mega-rich Newcastle for Premier League positions — insisting only sports with salary caps give every team an equal chance.
Leeds finished three places above Newcastle in their first season back in the top flight in 2020-21, and stayed above them for the first half of last term.
That all changed after Newcastle were taken over by the Saudis and spent £90million in the January window, and now the teams are battling at opposite ends of the table.

Marsch’s men are just two points off the relegation zone while Eddie Howe’s Toon are in the Champions League places, in third.
‘Money is always helpful,’ said Leeds’ American manager Marsch ahead of Saturday’s meeting at St James’ Park.
‘You don’t want to slight the job Eddie has done, because he has done an amazing job. But we all know this world of football is something different from American sports.
