What is the wage difference between Middlesbrough, Newcastle, and Sunderland?

The North East is fortunate to have many powerful football teams that are integral parts of their local communities.

The three largest teams in the North East are Sunderland, Newcastle United, and Middlesbrough, respectively. While Newcastle United has been on a roll since taking over and is back in the Champions League, Boro and the Black Cats are fighting for promotion back to the Premier League.

In light of all of that, we have compared the salary budgets of Sunderland, Newcastle, and Middlesbrough using data from Capology.

Boro had a rough start to the season, but they have since recovered. As they aim for the play-offs, they have won three of their previous five games.

Newcastle United, currently ranked seventh in the Premier League, is enjoying yet another successful campaign. At the end of the season, they intend to be among the top four once more.

This year, the Toon are competing in the Champions League as well. Even though they are now bottom of a difficult group, there are still two games remaining.
