I think 13 players left after relegation including fringe players like Dobre. Quite an a cull.Yes although there's little doubting being relegated and keeping most of PL squad, plus cushion of parachute payments does put most clubs in very strong position to mount challenge to return, theres plenty of clubs who've made a hash of it too and still down there.
Watford, WBA and Stoke off top of my head. WBA in particular that season we were promoted under Parker, seemed to have strong squad, with kind of players that'd be upf fo challenge, with more quality at disposal than most.
Watford had quality, but bit of a basket case situation with owners.
