I am giving up on The World Game and going back to the Telegraph for facts.

Interesting. The World game have now included the Club's statement in the article.
Reading what the Club states, it does not rule out the article as being false.
Does the following statement refer to the due diligence required by Football Australia.
“We’re going through the final stages with legal and we’re waiting on the FFA final approval before we can announce in February,” he told SBS The World Game.
The question is? "What is the point of talking to TWG at this stage". Assuming the words actually came from Abdul Helou and not someone taking the piss.
At best it may be a sign that negotiations are happening and it is some sort of bargaining ploy.
Better than silence.
But like all rumoured prospective player signings. Wait until the ink is dry on the contract before opening the champagne.

Idk l just don't really trust this guy. The 32% stake in Rayo Vallecano looks dodgy as well.

Hmm, if he is a part owner of Rayo you might be right to have some reservations. Their fans seemed very unhappy when the club was bought and membership prices were jacked up amongst other things, according to this article.
Rayo Vallecano: Fans boycott season tickets as protests intensify - Football España
It’s reaching boiling point in Vallecas this summer, where Rayo Vallecano fans are not renewing their season tickets. They are also planning all-out protests against the club owner and directors outside the stadium for the first two home games of the season. Descendants of the club’s founders...

When the best news, is fake news, you really do find yourself wanting to believe it,
Who wrote in our clubs vision statement that all Mariner endeavours must in nature be a cluster f**k.

It seems like he is a bullshit artist with no money - shame
Could be an elaborate plan between him (new owner) and the club to draw interest back to the club.
A planned media article and then a club statement, gets a lot of people talking quickly especially with the article mentioning property as well.
Could be a cheap (inexpensive) way to do some marketing for the club and the league. Haha.

The fact we have suddenly signed three international players is very unPikeylike.......which makes me think we have a done deal and Pikey has the confidence to pay the wages knowing he has money in the bank.
The slight worry is Pikey is a shark and a flake............not a great combo when dealing with a buyer......and he has the ability to f**k up his own deal.

. unPikeylike
. I like the way that one rolls off the tongue ... chance of it entering the local vernacular ?
. it could, like, even get picked up by, like, the young-uns

It is. From the SMH.
"When I say I own Rayo Vallecano, I own the infrastructure and the fiscal entities behind it. Am I involved in the club day today? No. Am I sitting on the board? No. Am I involved with the decision-making? No, but I've got a larger property play in Spain."
Rayo Vallecano has not responded to requests to verify Helou's claims.

It appears that the existence of Santa Claus is probably more likely than Abdul being legit.
Oh well, a bit of fun and excitement for a day.
Seriously, do not expect any serious Club sale news until after the A_League is fully independent, has a sponsor and has a broadcast deal.
