Shredder isn't leading anything at the moment, since he's bedridden. So far, Shredder's henchman have been acting on their own doing missions they think will help him. The only reason his mutants are still with him is because they are loyal to him, not because they are still part of his clan. And they may have been Foot Clan members before, but they left the city along with Shredder so they lost their status too when Karai took over. So I think it makes more sense to call Shredder's small group "Shredder's forces."

Karai has either destroyed or taken over every bit of Foot property Shredder has, taken over the all of the Foot ninjas, and currently wears the Kuro Kabuto which Shredder says that only the leader of the Foot must wear. So that prety much clinches
