PAUL SCHARNER is heading for the West Brom exit door.
Scharner, 32, has failed to trigger an automatic contract extension after playing fewer than 25 games this term.
The Austrian midfield star’s current deal expires in the summer.
And he said: “I think I’ve concluded my mission at West Brom by helping them to stay in the Premier League.
“I’ve never been relegated and I’m very proud of this.
“I didn’t take up the option because it was impossible as I have not played enough games.
“To stay would need new negotiations — and that won’t be happening.
“I would like to stay because of the supporters, who are great, but the club has other plans, so it is time to move on.
“But I think I still have enough to offer someone and have set myself a new challenge somewhere else.
“It is time to finish off the season and then decide on my future.”
Meanwhile, Jonas Olsson has been voted the Baggies’ Player of the Year
Plenty of Premier League experience, pops up with a few goals each season, and with it being reported today that we have not indicated to Pompey that we want to sign Mullins I think we could do far worse than look at him.
