Set out to accept concessions brought back from management (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disposal

'management' is the definition.
(disposal is a kind of management)

'set out to accept concessions brought back' is the wordplay.
'set out' becomes 'laid' (I've seen this before).
'to accept' is an insertion indicator.
'concessions' becomes 'sops' (sop is a kind of concession).
'brought back' is a reversal indicator.
'laid' going around 'sops' is 'lasopsid'.
'lasopsid' backwards is 'DISPOSAL'.

'from' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for disposal that I've seen before include "Riddance" , "Getting rid of something" , "Deployment - management" , "arrangement" , "Out of control," .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
