Football club cut incentive (4)
I believe the answer is:
spur
'incentive' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for spur that I've seen before include "slip road" , "Lateral root" , "Hurry up" , "Impetus" , "Goad, prod" .)
