However, according to a number of sources, Edsel Ford II, great grandson of Henry Ford, has said that Alan Mulally would be staying at Ford through the end of 2014.
“Alan is staying through the end of 2014 and that’s all I know,” Ford II reportedly said. Speaking to Bloomberg TV, he reiterated the point. “Frankly, he has told us that his plan is to stay with Ford through the end of 2014.”
Ford’s directors haven’t pressed Mulally to make a public statement to clarify that he plans to stay with the automaker because he’s made his intentions clear to the company’s board, Edsel Ford II reportedly said.
