After manoeuvres I belong in base (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignoble

'base' is the definition.
(both can mean dishonourable or shameful)

'after manoeuvres i belong' is the wordplay.
'after manoeuvres' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'i'+'belong'='ibelong'
'ibelong' with letters rearranged gives 'IGNOBLE'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for ignoble that I've seen before include "Mean - of low birth" , "'Dishonourable, mean (7)'" , "Lacking dignity" , "Cheap" , "I belong (anag)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
