The ME teams have definitely improved and I think hosting a WC had a lot to do with it as they have spent a stack on infrastructure and youth programs.
The draw also plays a big part in any tournament as I think Australia wins 8 times out of ten if we played Jordan or Qatar but unfortunately we have great difficulty playing Japan and South Korea in particular and don’t match up well with them.
Definitely a bit of the change of guard going on in the Asian conference though

I can’t see the issue with it.
No one here offered him a role worth much so of course he ain’t going to turn down a decent pay day.
I would think most in his situation would do the same
