This means that Bill Ford just didn't see a 'light at the end of the tunnel' for his company, despite his best efforts, and basically wanted someone else to try (and to blame). Now, Bill and his board can hold Alan Mullally accountable if things get worse and, if they improve, Bill Ford will be praised for having the 'foresight' to hire Alan Mulally from Boeing. It's a clever corporate move by Bill Ford. It's also transparent.

I wish Alan Mulally (and Ford) well - but I wouldn't want his (new) job.
