Blatant attacks said to cause financial difficulties for company (11)
I believe the answer is:
overtrading
'attacks said to cause financial difficulties for company' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'blatant' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'blatant' could be 'overt' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'overt' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
