After tea say took charge of games as coach perhaps (9)
I believe the answer is:
transport
'coach perhaps' is the definition.
(coach is a kind of transport)
'after tea say took charge of games' is the wordplay.
'after' says to put letters next to each other.
'say' shows a homophone (sound like).
'took charge of' becomes 'ran' (I've seen this in other clues).
'games' becomes 'sport' (sporting games).
'tea' is a homophone of 't'.
't' put next to 'ran' is 'tran'.
'tran'+'sport'='TRANSPORT'
'as' is the link.
(Other definitions for transport that I've seen before include "Move something or somebody around" , "Movement (of goods or people)" , "Carry from one place to another" , "which may be public?" , "Convey - delight" .)
