Iain King talks about Airdrie on The Burst Baw Podcast (starts around 1h:03 until 1h:22).

Covers:-

Saturday result v Ayr - "Really disappointing, went from bad to worse".

League form - "Fixtures not kind to us recently...outwith Ayr and Dunfermline now a battle for the 2 other play off places".

Loan players - "Not a big fan, a last resort and not the way forward...all you are doing is developing other team's players to block your own youth academy players". He mentions Nicky Cadden coming through into the 1st team.

Badge - "Cost us a lot of money...delayed the kit launch so affecting sales".

The host concludes by saying it was "refreshing to hear" a CEO being so open.
