Not working, manipulated city's loan fund (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dysfunctional

'not working' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'manipulated city's loan fund' is the wordplay.
'manipulated' indicates an anagram.
'citys'+'loan'+'fund'='citysloanfund'
'citysloanfund' anagrammed gives 'DYSFUNCTIONAL'.

(Other definitions for dysfunctional that I've seen before include "Socially incapable and abnormal" , "Not operating properly" , "not working properly" , "Not operating normally" , "Operating with impairment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
