QPR skipper Barton turns to personal legal team for FA showdown

QPR captain Joey Barton may get 'lawyered up' for his FA hearing this week.

The Daily Mail says Barton is strongly considering using his personal lawyer Mel Stein when he fights a possible 12-match ban on Friday.

Barton is expected to request a personal hearing when an FA panel decide the length of his suspension. He is set to use Stein to fight his case for a lesser ban, rather than QPR's legal team.
