Allardyce exit boost for Scots

visit to Wembley on November 11. And Brown reckons the reshuffle could benefit Scotland. He said: “It mixes them up a bit because they were looking forward to having Sam Allardyce as the manager. Now there’s a complete and utter upset south of the border. Sam is a hugely experienced manager. Now, with the greatest will in the world, Gareth Southgate hasn’t the same experience as Sam. He’s not got the track record. He was at Middlesbrough for a while as manager and managed the England under-21 team, so he really hasn’t got the vast experience Sam had. “We don’t know how good he is going to be, although he did exceptionally well with the England under-21 team and a lot of the players who have come through were his players some years ago. “It might yet turn out to be a good thing for England, but I would rather be playing against Gareth Southgate than Sam Allardyce if I was Gordon Strachan. “It is a slight boost to Scotland because a team would like stability and Sam only had one game.”
