October – Sam Allardyce – West Ham United
What a start to the season West Ham United had, and Sam Allardyce was rewarded in October with the Manager of the Month award.
Breaking up the usual top-four, The Hammers were sitting pretty near the top of the table, and after three wins out of three in October, they didn’t look like stopping.
Wins over QPR, Burnley and Manchester City, gave Allardyce his managerial award.
However, he lost his job at the end of the season after the club refused to offer him a contract extension.
