City lenders I upset in tactless manner (12)
I believe the answer is:
indiscreetly
'in tactless manner' is the definition.
'city lenders i upset' is the wordplay.
'upset' indicates anagramming the letters.
'city'+'lenders'+'i'='citylendersi'
'citylendersi' anagrammed gives 'INDISCREETLY'.
I've seen this clue in The Times.
