Not an official announcement from Ford as yet, is this the sounding of the death knell?
Boggert:
Cool.... If we all chip in a tenner we may just get it!
I just hope and pray its not going the same way as Rover.
Tony F:
True, looking at the BBC News site it appears to be the unions that have made an announcement not Ford:
"Jaguar and Land Rover jobs fears
Workers have every reason to worry about job losses, analysts say
Union leaders have voiced concerns about the decision of US carmaker Ford to put its British luxury car marques Jaguar and Land Rover up for sale.
Dave Osborne, national officer of the Unite union, said its "prime concern" was the job security of workers.
Jaguar has about 10,000 staff at sites in Coventry, Birmingham, and Liverpool, while Land Rover employs about 9,000 in the West Midlands and Warwickshire.
Ford has been selling assets in a bid to offset falling sales and profits.
The company is expected to make an official announcement in the next few days. "
