Wild rubbish about bloke in charge (8)
I believe the answer is:
romantic
'wild' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'rubbish about bloke in charge' is the wordplay.
'rubbish' becomes 'rot' (I've seen this before).
'about' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'bloke' becomes 'man' (I've seen this in other clues).
'in charge' becomes 'ic'.
'rot' enclosing 'man' is 'romant'.
'romant'+'ic'='ROMANTIC'
(Other definitions for romantic that I've seen before include "Literary period in early 19th century" , "Evoking love; post-Classical" , "Inclined to love" , "Passionate" , "Imaginative or amorous" .)
