England manager Steve McClaren insists he never considered the prospect that his stint as England manager may be coming to an end despite the 'abuse' he received from 'a hateful mob' against Andorra.
Click here A lacklustre Euro 2008 qualifying campaign has seen a section of supporters grow increasingly vocal in their disapproval of the former Middlesbrough boss and their anger reached fever pitch in England's goalless first half in Barcelona.
But McClaren says he is able to cope with such reactions.
He told the News of the World: 'I won't let some hateful mob drive me out of this job.
'I have work to do and I'm not leaving until I've done it.
'Even when the abuse was at its worst it never crossed my mind that this could be my last match with England. I did not consider walking away - not for a moment.
'I don't believe I will ever get abuse as bad as that again in my life, but when I look back on that experience, I feel I have emerged stronger.'
McClaren also revealed how he tried to inspire his players to a better second-half performance - which eventually resulted in three unanswered goals.
'When I got the players together at half-time I impressed on them that if things went wrong it would be me who took the stick.
'I told them I can handle it, so they should go out, forget the atmosphere in the stadium and do their best to win.'
