Man is chap, red is owing money.
Nursery - I think 'riots' just means an anagram.

\Thanks Malone. I forgot all about being in the red. The down one isn't an anagram is it?

Isn't it an anagram of n/november and surrey, leading to 'nursery'? And that, I suppose, could be what 9 A is.

Thanks bullfrog and malone. I did see that but I thought it was too weak! I was looking for something clever. I need Occam's Razor...

It wasn't a great clue - I'm sure the compiler could have come up with something better!
