Ideas for a change, as previously mentioned (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aforesaid

'previously mentioned' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ideas for a change' is the wordplay.
'change' indicates an anagram.
'ideas'+'for'+'a'='ideasfora'
'ideasfora' with letters rearranged gives 'AFORESAID'.

'as' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aforesaid that I've seen before include "earlier" , "Above-mentioned" , "previously referred to" , "The one previously mentioned" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
