Bloke will be the smartest in that FFA room and sadly incumbents prob won't like that one bit and prevent it happening.
Yes Cahill definitely had a plan with his off-field ventures in China; his Academies, his clothing brand...Cahill+ (and whatever else) and it would've been premature of him to pull the plug on all that and come back to Australia now just because he has been released from Shenhau. A lot of players don't maximise their careers when they are playing and make short-term decisions, Cahill has a meticulous approach in both his onfield playing (and club choices over the years) and what he does off-field....he basically leaves nothing to chance.
