Arsenal staggered into another major crisis last night after sensationally handing the manager's job to Arsene Wenger.In an amazing day of blunders and farce, the shamed London giants became the laughing stock of football when they:Amazingly appointed Frenchman Wenger as manager, sparking threats of a massive fans' riot.Crashed to a humiliating 3-1 defeat at tiny Northampton - appropriately nicknamed the Cobblers.Embarrassed chairman Peter Hill-Wood, vice-chairman David Dein and managing director Ken Friar so much they walked out of the friendly in despair.Admitted that Bruce Rioch had to go because "he never talked to board members''.And in a final act of farce, last night's match sponsors tried to give reformed boozer Paul Merson a crate of lager as man of the match!Now the crisis club is facing a fans' revolt at Saturday's opening match against West Ham at Highbury.Supporters are at boiling point over the decision to give Wenger the job.Former Monaco coach Wenger has agreed to become the pounds 400,000-a-year boss even though he still has a month of his contract to run with Japan's Grampus Eight. But in another amazing twist last night it emerged that he could become director of football in November with a younger man - David O'Leary - moving in as team manager.Wenger has given Arsenal a list of five players to bring in before he arrives next month. He is understood to have clinched a deal for Strasbourg midfielder Remi Garde, who is on a free transfer.A second player, AC Milan midfielder Patrick Viera has also been approached. He would cost pounds 2million.And AC Milan's George Weah could also be on his way for pounds 6million plus.The bombshell Wenger decision comes after Johan Cruyff priced himself out of taking over from sacked Rioch with sky-high demands. Arsenal immediately turned to Wenger, a personal friend of Dein. Disgusted supporters who had set their hearts on Cruyff last night warned that Wenger's appointment will spark a riot. And as fans threatened the biggest demo ever at Highbury, Hill-Wood said: "It hurt me to do it but Bruce had to go.\ "He barely talked to members of the board. We didn't know what was going on. It wasn't right or healthy. "I'm afraid we got it wrong with Bruce. We employed him in good faith. I never dreamed we'd be looking for a second manager in so short a time.'' Season-ticket holder Alan Esparza, who orchestrated the campaign that got rid of former manager Terry Neill, warned: "If Wenger comes, there will be hell to pay at next week's shareholders' meeting. "David Dein said he would have some news to put the smile back on the supporters' faces. But none of us is laughing. "The way this club has been run for the past 18 months is a disgrace - an absolute joke.''The riot threat comes only 24 hours after the club sacked Rioch. Wenger is unlikely to be here for a month and Stewart Houston and Pat Rice are expected to take temporary control. Arsenal confirmed last night that Dein would still set up the financial side of the deals. And in the final act of farce Merson had to ask team-mate John Hartson to accept the crate of lager on his behalf after the defeat at Northampton. Merson said: "Not everyone understands my predicament. The sponsors were just being nice, but I couldn't accept it." Merson's awkward moment was entirely in keeping with the 90 minutes' shambles. They were outplayed and humiliated by Third Division Northampton, who inflicted the Gunners' sixth defeat in seven warm-up matches. Arsenal went ahead through Hartson, but three goals in 15 minutes sent Hill-Wood, Dein and Friar scurrying for the exit. Houston claimed he would be picking the side to face the Hammers.
