Break even on the crowd at FCR

There was a statement mase by Delia about quote

Delia and Michael stressed at the Capital Canaries question and answer session on Monday night that our impressive Carrow Road attendances do not generate enough income to pay the wages of even a League One squad.

Not so long ago we were told that the break even point for FCR while in the Championship was about 16,000.

Any ideas why this has all changed so dramtically?
