Tear apart or show contempt for someone in the club? (9)
I believe the answer is:
dismember
'tear apart' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'show contempt for someone in the club?' is the wordplay.
'show contempt for' becomes 'dis'.
'someone in the club?' becomes 'member'.
'dis'+'member'='DISMEMBER'
'or' is the link.
(Other definitions for dismember that I've seen before include "Remove the limbs of, or divide into parts" , "Tear limb from limb" , "cut to pieces" , "Divide up (organisation)" , "Break up" .)
