Michael Sheen, Colm Meaney, Mark Bazeley, Jim Broadbent, Martin Compston, Stephen Graham, Brian McCardie, John Savage, Timothy Spall, Chris Wilson, Giles Alderson, Christopher Boulstridge, Bill Bradshaw, Damian Broadbent, Mark Cameron, Elizabeth CarlingThe Damned United erzählt mit typisch schwarzem Humor die provozierende Geschichte von Brian Clough (Michael Sheen) und seinen 44 unglücklichen Tagen als Trainer des englischen Erstligavereins Leeds United. Clough übernimmt den Job ohne den Beistand seines Co-Trainers Peter Taylor (Timothy Spall) und glaubt sich von Spielern umgeben, die seinem bitteren Rivalen Don Revie (Colin Meaney) treu sind. Seine Streitlust und sein Talent werden innerhalb der 44 Tage auf eine Zerreißprobe gestellt. Das ist die Geschichte. Die Geschichte der Damned United.
Taking over Leeds United, Brian Clough's abrasive approach and his clear dislike of the players' dirty style of play make it certain there is going to be friction. Glimpses of his earlier career help explain both his hostility to previous manager Don Revie and how much he is missing right-hand man Peter Taylor
