Bolton boss Phil Parkinson has admitted he has never experienced anything like the events taking place at the club during his 35 years in football.
Already relegated from the Championship, Wanderers' campaign came to a close on Saturday with a 1-0 defeat to Nottingham Forest.
The club now face an uncertain future with a ownership wrangle taking place between current owner Ken Anderson and would-be buyer Laurence Bassini.
And Parkinson admits the events at the crisis-hit club, which has also seen a player strike over unpaid wages and their final home game against Brentford cancelled, is something he has never experienced in the game.
Parkinson said: "I have been in football for 35 years and the things I have experienced in the last few years at Bolton have not been close to anything else I have experienced. It has been extraordinary at times.
"We have had some very testing circumstances throughout the whole season but, in particular, over the last few months.
"It was tough to pick a team today - we basically had the lads we selected there, in the 18.
"We had injuries and a couple of players put their notice in, while a few players who are out of contract this summer have offers elsewhere and did not want to put themselves at risk.
"I think everyone is looking forward to this being resolved so that we can all move forward."
