'useless old line manager' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'complain and keep tabs on' is the wordplay.
'complain' becomes 'rail' (railing is a kind of complaining).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'keep tabs on' becomes 'track' (I've seen this in another clue).
'rail'+'track'='RAILTRACK'
