Meet the MCI Team:

Too young for Maine Road and too old for football twitter, Sheikh has been a City fan since the early 2000's. In addition to being the MCI Owner & Founder, he is the host of the #SheikhSpeaks podcast series and co-host of the #TheBlueSide spaces. Sheikh's first favorite City player was Sun Ji-Hai and his current favorite is none other than David Silva. One of his many goals is to live forever - so far, so good!
An integral member of the MCI team and the brains behind the #TheBlueSide spaces, Nico has built a reputation as being one of the most rational supporters of our club. Above all else, he values consistency as the most important trait separating world class players from the rest. His tactical knowledge and footballing intelligence are top tier, enabling him to navigate conversations with grace. Fun fact: Nico is currently studying to become a marine biologist.
A blue from birth, Lucy is a shining example of what it means to be a City fan. A social analytics expert with creative flair, Lucy spearheads the MCI socials, splitting time on the graphics team as well. A fluid speaker and gifted writer, Lucy is also a #TheBlueSide panelist and contributor to MCI editorial. Her favorite current City player is Julian "La Araña" Alvarez and coincidentally, she operates one of the largest Spider-man fan pages on Twitter.
A local Mancunian with family ties to the club, Sam is our resident Kiwi with a professional background in data analytics. Known in some circles as "the songbird of our generation," Sam's voice was made for public-speaking. Sam's unique skillsets combined with his deep understanding of City's culture and history make him the perfect panelist for our #TheBlueSide Space, a speaker on the #SheikhSpeaks podcast, and contributor to the editorial team.
A true, blue, Craig has been a City fan since 1998 and a regular match goer since 2003. Craig is a second generation City fan, following in his Dad’s footsteps. Growing up, Ali Bernarbia and SWP were his favourite players and he is a proud survivor of the 06/07 season where City scored 10 home goals all season. A current season ticket holder he lives on the border with Wales with his fiancé and cat Bernardo. He is a contributor to MCI editorial and a keynote speaker on the #SheikhSpeaks podcast.
The incredibly talented designer behind the MCI logo and all MCI graphics, Abdou proudly represents City in Nigeria. Abdou works in tandem with the MCI social team to provide quality, real-time graphic updates pre, during, and post matchday.
