I imagine our transfer budget under Qatari ownership will be far bigger than under BJR.

It’s limited by what we make vs. the losses made. The only way the owners could impact it is doing what City have done, that’s why they’ve done it. Or by improving commercials/success, which won’t be instant.
The difference would be if the club has to pay for stadium/training ground improvements out of the same pot, these things aren’t counted within FFP, so you can spend what you like in that sense but if your only ‘making’ £100m and £50m is going on debt/stadium you’re restricted. If your owners are dripping in funds and you’re debt free, the full £100m can be transfer funds.
Edit: under current rules
