A split at Tottenham Hotspur concerning money-management (6)
I believe the answer is:
thrift
'management' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'a split at tottenham' is the wordplay.
'a split' becomes 'rift' (I've seen this in other clues).
'at' means one lot of letters go next to another (I've seen this in other clues).
'tottenham' becomes 'th' (I can't explain this - if you can you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'rift' after 'th' is 'THRIFT'.
'hotspur concerning money' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for thrift that I've seen before include "Economical management of money or resources" , "Extreme care in spending money" , "Parsimony, penny-pinching" , "Plant - saving - economy" , "plants from cliffs by sea" .)
