Never a player for rejection (2,6)
I believe the answer is:
no chance
'never' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
'a player for rejection' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found within the answer.
'player' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for no chance that I've seen before include "Monopoly could be badly affected by this" , "Most unlikely!" , "That's definitely out" , "That will not happen/succeed" , "pessimistic forecast" .)
