He might have gave them nothing, but he could have answered the Lodge query a wee bit better. I would have said "I sit and have one-to-one chats with all my players, and those conversations will always remain private and confidential".

Minor and I expect he'll learn from it. What I'd like to know is how Badel knew? He said "there have been reports you've sat down with Lodge". Who reported it? Certainly not Kevvie or the club. So someone has leaked that bit of info to Badel.
those "reports" have been around since day one of Kevvie's tenure.
but assuming those reports did come from someone with knowledge of the talks ... Lodge's manager would be a good place to start looking
