Yep, wouldn’t be too much of a difference but he is probably referring to the two clubs coming together which he has championed for a while.
As far as being skint goes:
https://companycheck.co.uk/company/00270043/WIGAN-ATHLETIC-AFC-LIMITED/financials
https://companycheck.co.uk/company/00174692/WIGAN-RUGBY-LEAGUE-CLUB-LIMITED/financials
Neither club is exactly rolling in it.
