On the back of an impressive four-game winning streak in all competitions, the Serbian mentor spoke of consistency, but highlighted the difficulty in sustaining it with the likelihood of selling key assets at the end of the season.
Last season, Galaxy sold seven players – including captain Given Msimango, goalkeeper Melusi Buthelezi and midfielder Bathusi Aubaas to Kaizer Chiefs, Orlando Pirates and Mamelodi Sundowns respectively.
Ramovic believes the club will not stand in the way of more leaving, should suitors come knocking.
"I'm a coach and I have to think in the present, and I would be the happiest guy if we, again, lose players to good teams," said Ramovic.
"Why? It's not about me, it's about the players, and if they deserve and play well, and they get a chance to maybe play for Chiefs, Orlando [Pirates] or Sundowns, can I as the coach say, 'No, you can't go there'?
"We have to be realistic. If they go, I will be the happiest guy, for them. For me, of course, it will be sad because I lose a great player, but for them, I'm just a coach and in the end I'm also human. I have to be happy because their success is also my success."
The coach also has a desire to see The Rockets move players abroad.
"If they can do the things; if they can go maybe abroad, to Germany, England, or somewhere, it will just be amazing and beautiful because this talks to our job, what we do [at the club]," he added.
"[even] if you have a small squad – we have 23 players, and if no one got injured, no muscle problems or anything, it [also] speaks to our periodisation."
