Postponing English in daily manoeuvre - no good (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

delaying

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

'english in daily manoeuvre no good' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation as in OED).
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'manoeuvre' indicates an anagram.
'no good' becomes 'ng' (abbreviation).
'daily' anagrammed gives 'dlayi'.
'e' placed inside 'dlayi' is 'delayi'.
'delayi'+'ng'='DELAYING'

(Another definition for delaying that I've seen is " Postponing".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
