Garcia, named in Australia's provisional 31-man squad ahead of the World Cup, said at today's squad announcement in Sydney that returning home has helped take his mind off a nightmare campaign he said was racked by instability at the KC stadium.

"It was a tough year all-round," Garcia told au.fourfourtwo.com today. "We had little problems everywhere and couldn't find our form which was our downfall.

"And then by the time we were starting to click, confidence was low because we'd taken some pastings.

"It was a difficult thing and there were things behind the scenes with the financial status of the club and the manager going and the chairman going."

Interim City coach Iain Dowie took over from the sacked Phil Brown with nine games left but the former Palace man failed to stem the tide enough to stave off relegation.

Hull's relegation fate was confirmed in the club's second last game of the season and they drop down along with Portsmouth and Burnley.

Dropping down to the Championship will cost the struggling Tigers millions in revenue. Worse still, the Humberside club is in danger of falling into administration after revealing debts of £35million (A$58million).

"We ended the season before this one poorly and we started this last season not any better," Garcia conceded. "It was almost like a revolving door of players coming in and going out even from last season.

"So it's always hard when you bring in ten, 11 guys into the squad and expect them to gel automatically. I think we struggled with that at the start of the season," he added.  

Garcia, 28, still has a year left on his contract at the KC Stadium but believes he's done enough to show he has adapted well to life in England's elite. And if an offer comes in, the financially-stricken Tigers may look to cash in on their Aussie attacking midfielder.

Already key man Stephen Hunt is said to be on the move in the summer with other high-earners potentially seeking an exit from Hull that will alleviate a bloated wages bill.

"The club might have to get rid of quite a few of the players because of the financial situation. It's all ifs and buts at the minute - and also if players want to be there or not," Garcia added.

The attacking midfielder was realistic about his future.

"I'm a Hull City player at the end of the day," he said. "It's one of those things that if something else arises and the club is happy to see me go then that's something I've got to look at.

"But as far as I'm concerned, I'm playing for Hull City."

But the former Hammer and Colchester player felt he'd started to find his feet in the Premiership and said he'd ideally like to stay in the division, having mixed it against some of the biggest names in the world over the last two seasons.

"It's only my ambition that will drive me to get back there," he said.

But for now, it's a World Cup to dream of. And returning home has been beneficial in other ways for the five times capped Socceroo from WA.

He added: "Coming home always lifts me.

"It's a chance to forget about that [relegation] and move onto this and bigger and better things."
