I doubt very much that our transfer and wages budget would change even if Bill Gates bought Palace. The whole point of FFP is that a club can only spend what it earns, not what a particular owner may have in his pocket at that time.
This is as good a summary as I have found (odd place to find it, but still)....
Radio Times is on hand with all you need to know about FFP rules in football and how PSR works in the Premier League.

For those flat-earthers who still question the weight of FFP and PSR, look at Newcastle and Villa.
The former are owned by a sovereign wealth fund who could blow Chelsea, Man United, and Arsenal out of the water in a straight cash fight, but yet the club cannot do what Man City once did and buy top players from those clubs to establish themselves as the new big dogs. Broadly, that is FFP.
Villa spent more than they earned hoping to get into the Champions League, did so, and then still had to sell players. The cost of getting there was greater than the rewards. Broadly, that is PSR.
For me, the idea of 'Glasner Out' is as risible as it is ungrateful, but what I think is worth being clear on is that any Manager (or to put it more accurately, any Head Coach) that bleats in the press about the club not being ambitious enough is, either knowingly or from ignorance, playing silly buggers in a way that few employers would tolerate. There is literally a strict limit on spending tied to income. That's why our budget will not change much unless our income does.
A new owner, or the current owners if they choose to, might want to rack up some extra debt up to the magic £105m mark in the hope of placating Glasner, but that would need to be made back in three years so we would continue to sell our best players regardless.
Personally, I think that Glasner has been such a great manager/coach for us precisely because he is such a great fit for how Palace operate within FFP/PSR. We tend to be stable, not frantic. Investments are made in key players, but on the proviso that they will likely be sold at a profit in the end. We do not need to sell to survive, but must do so to avoid players leaving for free. If you take on the job at Palace there will be a good bunch of pros, a small squad, often one or two star talents, but that's it. Don't try and play like Barcelona or Ajax. Don't alienate the senior core. Have a solid, realistic tactical plan, work on it, stick to it, and we will stand by you.
Based on these ingredients Hodgson prized defensive unity, forged on the training ground and through consistent team selection, and relied heavily on a couple of match-winning talents to carry us. He was a great, pragmatic coach for a smaller club in the top flight, but not one suited to a bigger club. Glasner is exactly that, but the absolute platinum-standard. I think if we were able to provide him with better players in the No10 positions then the team would be better, but not unrecognisable, and he would still be off in the summer.
