Maybe I'm to be a skipper (4)

I believe the answer is:

omit

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

'maybe i'm to be a skipper' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'maybe i'm to' is the wordplay.
'maybe' indicates an anagram.
'im'+'to'='imto'
'imto' with letters rearranged gives 'OMIT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for omit that I've seen before include "Leave out or fail to do" , "Leave out or forget" , "Exclude; veto" , "Miss out" , "Leave out or exclude" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
