Team directors getting some furniture (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sideboard

'some furniture' is the definition.
(sideboard is a kind of furniture)

'team directors getting' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'directors' becomes 'board' (board of directors).
'getting' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'side'+'board'='SIDEBOARD'

(Other definitions for sideboard that I've seen before include "dresser?" , "Dining room furniture" , "Piece of dining-room furniture" , "Dior beads (anag.)" , "place for silverware?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
