Leeds supporters have trips to the likes of Rotherham and Crewe to look forward to next season after their relegation to Division One.
But how many of the current squad will stick around for battles at places like Millmoor and Gresty Road?
At the height of Leeds' success some of their first-team regulars could have commanded huge transfer fees - but they could now be picked off at bargain basement prices.
BBC Sport takes a look at who is likely to leave Elland Road and who will be wanted by what Leicester manager Micky Adams calls the "Premiership piranhas".
ALAN SMITH
The England striker is likely to be the first to leave after saying: "I am not a First Division player and I have got an international career to think about." Birmingham have had a �5.75m bid for the 23-year-old turned down, while Carling Cup winners Middlesbrough have also publicly declared an interest in him.
But Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle are thought to be the leading contenders for his signature and will not be put off by the �10m price tag for a player who would once have cost �15m.
MARK VIDUKA
Following closely behind Smith out of the exit door will be Australia forward Mark Viduka, who has long been admired by big clubs in England and abroad.
His commitment to Leeds has been questioned in the last two seasons and he let them down when they needed him most against Bolton.
That will not put off Boro boss Steve McClaren and Manchester United from bidding �5m, particularly since they might have had to shell out up to three times that a year ago.
PAUL ROBINSON
A �2m deal taking the England goalkeeper to Tottenham was agreed during the January transfer window, only for it to fall through because of Premier League rules.
Spurs are still favourites to sign Robinson but the transfer could run into more problems, with the clubs thought to be in disagreement over the fee, which could have been �7m in happier times for Leeds.
Aston Villa were set to sign him last summer until the deal collapsed over personal terms but it is unlikely to be revived.
JAMES MILNER
Enland Under-21 forward Milner burst on to the Premiership scene last October, making his debut in the home defeat by Manchester United.
The 18-year-old has proved to be one of the few success stories for Leeds this season and that has not gone unnoticed by those "piranhas", who would have to pay around �3.5m for him.
Milner can play out wide or up front and his undoubted potential - which could see his value soar to �5m and above - could appeal to the likes of Tottenham, who were reportedly interested in him in January.
THE FULL-BACKS
Ian Harte's form has suffered as a result of United's struggles this season and he could decide a fresh start is what he needs. A paltry sum of �500,000 could prise away a player once worth 10 times that amount.
Few would begrudge Republic of Ireland team-mate Gary Kelly, who would cost a nominal fee, the chance to continue his career in the top flight after more than a decade of consistent performances which saw him rated at �3m.
England defender Danny Mills has enjoyed himself during a loan spell at Middlesbrough and, although he has said he is prepared to return, there is a distinct possibility he will start next season at the Riverside.
WHAT ABOUT THE REST?
Former England midfielder David Batty has not featured since the defeat at Newcastle in January and the 35-year-old will leave on a free when his contract runs out at the end of the season.
Striker Michael Bridges has spent the last two months at Newcastle and he could leave, along with captain Dominic Matteo, Michael Duberry and Nicky Barmby, for a fraction of the fees paid by Leeds.
Midfielder Seth Johnson, facing nine months out with a serious knee injury, is another worth much less now than the �7m paid to bring him to Elland Road.
There are not many crumbs of comfort for the fans but experienced South African defender Lucas Radebe is set to be offered a new deal, while some of the players looking to leave might have to stay because of their wage demands.
