Marshal who lost some money? (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ney

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'marshal' is the definition.
(I know that Ney is a marshal)

'lost some money?' is the wordplay.
'NEY' is hidden within the letters.
But, I am unsure how this is indicated.

'who' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ney that I've seen before include "French soldier" , "One of Napoleon's marshals" , "French marshal sound negitative" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
