David Moyes and Dan Friedkin side-by-side, with Hill Dickinson Stadium behind them
The Scottish manager's contract at the Toffees expires at the end of the season and it remains to be seen what the future holds for him.
As things stand, the situation has become even more complicated as the American owners are looking to relinquish control of the Blues.
Moyes has steadied the ship at Hill Dickinson Stadium, but some fans aren't convinced.
Some consider the 63-year-old head coach's footballing approach bland, and want to see the Merseyside outfit play a more attractive style.
For now, the decision seems to rest with TFG, who may be left in a dilemma.
Why The Friedkin Group need to sort out David Moyes' future at Everton
TFG are holding off on a decision on Moyes until the sale at Hill Dickinson Stadium.
The American owners would much rather the possible new decision-makers resolve the Scottish manager's future.
However, Michael Ball feels the uncertainty around the veteran head coach's future could be a sticking point for any potential investor.
Whatever the future holds for Moyes, TFG have been told to decide on it and move on to more pressing matters.
Writing in the Liverpool Echo on 27 October, the former Blues defender said, "Football clubs are not cheap, so if you're paying something between £800million to a billion pounds for Everton, you want it to tick all the right boxes.
"And the manager's contract is a solution that needs sorting so we can move on and focus on the football and get investors lined up to do deals and buy the club off The Friedkin Group."
How David Moyes situation is complicated at Hill Dickinson Stadium
TFG face an evident problem with Moyes amid their search for a major investor to take control of Everton.
With the Scottish manager set to leave at the end of the season, the Toffees may find deals hard to pull off for players who may be looking for more stability in January.
There's a chance anyone the Scottish manager signs in the winter transfer window might not be fancied by the next manager.
But say TFG do end up extending Moyes' deal, potential buyers may not fancy him as head coach.
The Toffees desperately need reinforcements in January, but it remains to be seen whether the American owners' wishes get in the way.
