It's true though. If they hadn't won the Champions Ledague he would be gone. 3 years of failure for a Liverpool manager in terms of winning the Prem is about the going rate. However, he did win the Champions League and that's bought him more time. He's also been lucky enough for this to coincide with a huge injection of funds after their take over to buy Torres, Babel et al.. Make no mistake though- a couple more third place finishes and he's out of there.
