Group managers on the way do raise problems (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

roadies

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'group managers on' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.

'way do raise problems' is the wordplay.
'do raise' can be anagrammed to 'ROADIES'.
However, I'm not clear how this is indicated.

'the' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for roadies that I've seen before include "They handle the equipment for entertainers" , "Pop group's tour assistants" , "Transport managers" , "Band tour crew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
