Part of layover's awfully managed (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

oversaw

'managed' is the definition.
('oversee' can be a synonym of 'manage')

'part of layover's awfully' is the wordplay.
'part of' indicates a hidden word.
'OVERSAW' is hidden within 'layovers awfully'.

(Other definitions for oversaw that I've seen before include "watcher" , "Supervised" , "Managed" , "What supervisor did" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
