Empty talk in managing a side (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gas

'empty talk' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'in managing a side' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'GAS' is hidden in the letters of 'managing a side'.

(Other definitions for gas that I've seen before include "Wind" , "idle chit-chat" , "could be embarrassing for American" , "Something that is neither solid not liquid" , "Something delightful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
