It has been another busy week in the life of an Everton supporter.

Just one quiet week would be nice for Toffees fans.

Well, even a quiet day would probably be welcome given the raft of uncertainty that seems to follow this glorious club.

But, a chance would be a fine thing as the old adage goes, and there is plenty for Everton fans to get into this week.

And, as always seems to be the case, it is not just things happening on the pitch to chat about.

With that being said, Goodison News has picked out three questions to have emerged from the past week at the Hill Dickinson Stadium.

Will the Friedkin Group actually sell Everton?

Ah, ownership uncertainty. How are you back again so soon?

When the Friedkin Group completed their takeover from Farhad Moshiri in December 2024, there was hope that the Toffees were finally back on a path to stability.

Well, less than two years later TFG have opened the door to a sale of Everton, providing they can find a buyer they think would be suitable to take the club forward.

While things have improved since the dark days of the end of the Moshiri regime, TFG made themselves desperately unpopular during a dismal transfer window.

However, the big question really still remains as to whether they really will sell. But all supporters want is an ownership that will look to take the team to the next level.

The Hull draw: A good point or missed opportunity?

A point away from home in the Premier League is never something to be scoffed at.

Moreover, Everton's 2-2 draw at Hull City over the weekend ensured that David Moyes' side remain unbeaten in the top flight this term.

And yet, there is a feeling that Everton chucked this one away, having fought back from a goal down to lead through Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall and Thierno Barry.

Mohamed Belloumi's equaliser was entirely avoidable, with Jordan Pickford not covering himself in glory, and it was a performance littered with uncharacteristic defensive errors.

It's now two wins and four draws from six Premier League outings, was this one an opportunity missed?

Can Thierno Barry continue to shoulder the attacking burden?

You have to really credit Thierno Barry so far this season.

Especially because there was so much talk about the fact he was left as the Toffees' only senior striker at the end of the window.

But he now has six goals across for competitions this season, and he is starting to show that he can be a consistent source of goals.

However, can he continue to shoulder the attacking burden on his shoulders? Or will Everton's lack of striker options catch up to them at some point?
