'amateur advisor to run' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'old forward chasing wing' is the wordplay.
'old' becomes 'ex' (prefix meaning former or onetime).
'forward' becomes 'pert' (both can mean cheeky or disrespectful).
'chasing' says to put letters next to each other (some letters chase after others).
'wing' becomes 'armchair' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'ex'+'pert'='expert'
'expert' after 'armchair' is 'ARMCHAIR EXPERT'.

'with' acts as a link.
