We have reviewed internal procedures to guard against this happening again," said chief executive Paul Barber.At this point, I'm unable to give you answers to all the questions you may have. What I can say to you is that every football club faces a variety of challenges at different points in its history. We are no exception and I can assure you that we will address each of these challenges.In an email to the club's season-ticket holders, Barber added it had been a "challenging" week for the club.Barber added: "We apologised to Crystal Palace as soon as the vandalism in their dressing room was discovered and again more formally a few days after the match.Defeat at home to our biggest rivals in a play-off semi-final; the suspension from work and pending investigation of three members of our staff [Poyet, assistant manager Mauricio Taricco and first-team coach Charlie Oatway]; and the revelation of an unsavoury incident that took place in our visitors' dressing room last Monday," he said.Barber declined to comment on the unrelated suspension of Poyet, Taricco and Oatway.Many supporters have asked me, both in person and in writing, about recent events and, in particular, how and why they have happened.
