Brian McDermott feels even Leeds United owner Massimo Cellino knows that the club have had too many managerial changes during his regime.
The Englishman, who is a former Leeds manager himself, is currently in charge of fellow Championship outfit Reading, who will take on the Whites at Elland Road this coming weekend.
McDermott was named Leeds' new manager on a three-year deal in April 2013, but he lasted just more than a year at Elland Road.
Cellino, who is known for sacking managers at the drop of a hat, bought the Yorkshire giants in early 2014.
McDermott was the first managerial casualty under the Italian, with the 55-year-old parting ways with Leeds in May 2014.

However, the Reading boss explained that although he holds no grudge against anyone at Leeds, he thinks constant changes of managers at Elland Road will not work in favour of the club.
“Massimo? No, I’ve got no resentment about anyone at Leeds, honestly none”, he was quoted as saying by the Yorkshire Evening Post.
“I look back on my time there with fondness and I think more about the encouraging times than I do about the other things. I think about us being in the playoffs at Christmas. It’s a shame it didn’t go further.
“I said then and I still think now that there’s too much talk about owners these days. Leeds need stability and a focus on the football. They’re in a cycle where a bit of euphoria or a few results lead to another crisis or another manager leaving.
“Steve [Evans], what’s he? Manager number five since I left? It’s too many. Whatever anyone says, it’s too many. I’m pretty sure the owner would agree with that himself. It can’t work like that.”
Reading, who are level on points with Leeds in the league, played out a goalless draw with the Whites at the Madejski Stadium in the corresponding fixture in August.
